compster Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) I have just replaced the cpu and motherboard on my system with an Athlon64 3500 (939) and an Asus A8V Deluxe mobo.The system boots fine. I am attempting a clean install with Windows XP-SP2 and continue to get the following error message:The file *.* (happens to numerous files during the copy process) was not copied correctly.The file Setup placed on your hard drive is not a valid Windows XP system image. If you are installing from a CD, there may be a problem with the Windows XP CD.I am using IDE hard drives, not SATA. Everything else is the same as the previous system.In an attempt to diagnose, I have done the following:- tried different hard drives- tried different cd drives- tired different install cd's (that I have successfully used before)I continue to get the errors, so is the problem related to the Athlon64 compatability?Is it possibly the bios needing updating?Is there a problem installing a 32 bit version of Windows with a 64 bit cpu?
