Re: XP Installation problem (Data error cyclic redundancy check)

You have two threads on broadly the same subject.
1) Because the hd is new doesnt mean its not bad
2) Your version of winxp doesnt have big lba enabled
3) cyclic redundency err means data is corrupt

Your hard disk is probably kaput. Buy a new one.

If you want to use the disk you have now, go the the drive
manufacturer's web site and get their zero write utility. The zero wipe
utility is usually part of the diagnostic utilities. Zero write your
drive and try to install Windows again. DO NOT EVER rely on the drive
for your personal data storage, the drive may fail without additional
warning at any given time.
