2 weeks after building a computer, the mb went out, so I bought a new mb and faster cpu. After installing new hardware, Windows wouldn't start, so I tried to reinstall from my Retail Full WinXP Pro CD. It formatted, installed files, then during the setup process, it got to a point where it gave this error message:
Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message: Data Error (cyclic redundancy check).
Fatal Error:
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Data Error: (cyclic redundancy check).

Nothing I have tried has been able to get me past that point.... Any help out there?
