XP just won't install! Family is p***ed off!

I've given the answer. You're burning the CD wrong. You are using the wrong compatibility mode, which is truncating the files. The problem is not the cdr, but the compatibility mode you are using.

that made a LOT of sense wish me luck now

Out of sheer curiosity (and awe at the fact that people have put the diagnosis together but not asking the right questions)... what software are you using to build/burn this CD anyway? IMHO, if you're not using nLite, you're doing it wrong...

Oh indeed, it worked just fine using nLite. I was using Nero.

Now our PC is back to normal, and my family is happy!

Thank you all so much!

Gosh said you burnt it wrong. Try using these directions, or nLite.

Just open the source in nLite and select Bootable ISO and select burn on that page.

Much obliged Gosh
