Greetings --
Problems copying files or corrupted files during the installation
of Win2K and/or WinXP are most often caused by defective or
sub-standard hardware; in order of likelihood, either RAM, the hard
drive, or the motherboard. On much less frequent occasions, a bad CD
or defective CD drive can also cause this.
