setup abort - error message

[szivarvany]

hey everyone,

i wonder if there's anyone who could help me. i've been looking for solutions and looked at other forums but unfortunately, anywhere i found the same error message that i keep receivig, there was no one solving the problem

i was reinstalling windows xp on my pc. when the pc rebooted itself it gave me the following error message fake setup call himself instead of original "setup.exe". - setup abort!. i can't do anything with it since then, as all what happens is this message appears, then it reboots itself soon i hit ok, or close that panel.

please, anyone, with any good ideas...! many thanks in advance!!!

Could you give us your computer specs? Also, what sort of WinXP install disc do you have? Is it an original version, a slipstreamed version, nLited, OEM, or a restore image?
