Windows XP Home Edition Boot Problem

My Grandfather and I are building a computer from scratch. We finished the
internal stuff. Then we formatted BIOS Program. Finally, we put in the
Windows XP Home Edition CD with SP 2.I had tried to install something, but
error occured, so this is my 2nd attempt to install. Getting ready starts
fine, then comes the menus.
The first Menu gave me the following options:
1. Setting up Windows XP Now
2. To repair a Windows XP Installtion using Recovery Console.
I chose to Set up Win. XP Now
Then the End-User's licence agreement comes. I do Accept.
Then it shows my Partitions to choose from. I've got two

C: Partition [NTFS} 76285 MB [76197 Free]
Unpartioned space 8 MB
I did not know where the Unpartioned space came from or what it means, so I
clicked C: Partition.
I got another menu giving me 3 options
1. Format the Partition using the NTFS File System (Quick)
2. Format the Partition using the NTFS File System
3. Leave the Current File System Intact
I choose Leaving the Current File System Intact.
Then Came another menu. There was a Windows Folder installed.
it gave me two options
1. Delete old folder, Make a new one.
2. Use Different Folder.
I choose Deleting the Old folder and making a new one.
It exmines the Disks and makes a list of files to me copied
During coping, it shows up numerous times saying that setup cannot copy a
certain file. It gives me the choice to retry of skip. I Retry.
Sooner or later in the middle of the coping, a tech error pops up.
