Error 8000FFFF or "Catastrophic Failure" while trying to copy a CD to the
hard drive might be caused by two different known things. The first thing
it might be the is a corrupt library. If WMP thinks it's library database
is corrupt it will not add any files to it. Rebuilding your library using
the steps at http://tinyurl.com/2xfz is a good idea.
After that if it doesn't work you may have had a file that needs to be
re-registered within Windows. To do this goto Start>>Run>>Type "regsvr32
wmadmoe.dll" (No Quotes) and then press Enter. See if that works.
If not, the next suggested thing to try is to run the System File Checker in
Windows. To do this goto Start>>Run>>Type "sfc /scannow" (No Quotes) and
then press Enter. You will need your Windows CD-ROM for this. If you have
a machine from HP, Compaq, Dell, Etc you might have a folder on your PC
named i386. This is most likely located in C:\ or D:\. This contains the
needed files and you will want to point SFC to that folder.
If that still doesn't work you might try reinstalling WMP over itself.
Don't try to uninstall it first, just run the installer again. Depending on
how WMP was installed on your machine you may already have the installer.
If you do it is located in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Installer.
If you don't see the folder you will need to re-download the installer. It
can be found at http://tinyurl.com/2qja5.

I work in windows 98, and I think it's windows media player 2000.
