Installing XP (LOB software must)

[deancooper]

Question: Is there a solution for the following issue?

 

'Re-installing XP on HP Pavilion zd 7000 for medical office which supports their EKG unit.  At the install progress "Installing Windows" I get "An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing.  One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed. 

 

Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

 

If you are installing from a CD, there might be a problem with the disc; try cleaning the disc or using another disc. 

 

......."

 

1.) Ran diagnostic for system board and it "passed"

2.) Cleaned disc and also used another XP ginuine disc "same error"

3.) checked Log File got "Error:  SXS.DLL: Syntax error in manifest or policy file "E:\i386\asms\1000\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPLUS\DGDIPLUS.MAN" on line 4.

xxx

Error: Installation Failed: E:\i386\asms. Error Message: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)" '

It is one of those "strange" errors that seem like being recurring but for which there is not a *real* explanation.

Can you try to install from another media/device (i.e. from a USB stick or - even better - from local hard disk)?

It could be several things, including the CD/DVD reader firmware

It is likely that each of the various reports have some parts of truth (the actual .iso/CD may have been made with some "queer" iso levels or similar)
