Re: Trouble setting up Windows Home Edition

This would indicate that your Home Edition CD is faulty. Causes of file copy
errors during setup include, bad RAM, a bad hard drive, a bad cd drive, and
bad installation media, since Pro installs fine I would guess your Home
Edition cd is scratched or otherwise defective.

I was having trouble setting up Windows Home Edition as it kept hanging up
at 'Setup cannot copy driver.cab' I carried on without it but it would set
up.

I tried Windows Pro, and that has worked fine. It did stall at Cannot copy
Driver.cab, but on retry went through fine.

However I don't really want XP Pro, as I have given up with it in the past
do to not being able to get my home network working with its overly
complicated settings for my use.

Now I'm up and running with Pro can I edit the HE files (e.g. copy
Driver.cab). I have tried this unsuccessfully so far. Also which of the
two sets of the systems files are which? How can I tell the difference?
