I decided to totally reformat that hard disk and reinstall Windows. There is a problem though! setup cannot copy the file setuporg Before I tell you the problem, I just thought that I'd mention that my system is a Dell Dimension and I use the Windows XP OEM Disk to install Windows. My hard drive is a SATA. I turn the computer on, and press F2 to enter the BIOS Settings. I change the boot order so that the CD-DRIVE boots first (The Disk doesn't actually boot from the CD DRIVE, it boots from the DVD DRIVE. I think this is because the DVD DRIVE is

the 'Master' or something). When I have changed the boot order, I reboot. I then get the 'Press any key to boot from CD' message. I press a key and then the Windows setup begins. The setup starts off by loading files (drivers etc). I then press 'ENTER' to set up Windows XP (there is no previous version of XP installed). I then accept the agreement by pressing F8. It now comes to a page with the available partitions. I highlight the C: Partition (NTFS) and press the 'D' to delete it. And then recreate the C: Partition (NTFS) by pressing 'C'. I then press 'Enter' to install Windows on this New, Raw partition. I format the partition. This is fine. Gets to 100% nicely. The problem is the next bit: The Windows XP setup copies files to the Windows Installation folders. It copies so many files but then randomly stops stating that it can't copy a specific file, and asks me to try again or skip. The thing is, I've retried installing it and sometimes, files that can't be copied will actually copy other times I try. One of the files I see quite often is 'pro_seg5.swf'. A lot of the time this file can't be copied, but other times i've tried, it has copied! But a different file pops up instead. I actually nearly got to the end of copying all files until one popped up when it was nearly finished. I skipped it and Windows began installing!...
