Hi

Need a bit of help on this one. I have Win XP Home Edition. Whilst surfing - it crashed and I had to switch off and start again.

After trying numerous things, I decided to reinstall. I chose the Quick install method. However, at 95% through installation, i get the message 'can't copy the file'. try again, or exit etc.

These files are osuninst.exe, wlxstamig.inf, xpthtood.gif ntoskml.exe, utkrulpa.exe, halaupi.dll, vga256.dll and vga64k.dll.

Therefore, I get the 'setup cannot set the required window xp configuration, this indicates an Internal Setup Error'.

I've tried a number of format/mbr fix mbr fixboot, fdisk etc, but to no avail.

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

Andy
