>Hi, so this is it, i have a a new motherboard new RAM,
new graphics card, new CPU.

hard drives are empty.

the computer and start with the cd.

>The Windows XP install dialog starts and i eventually
comes to the Install where i get to choose where to
install.
>I choose the hard drive i want to install on and XP
wants to format it first.
>Now it begins, the format fails with NTFS format, FAT
works just fine.
>But it says that my hard drives is broken.
>Its not, i have moved it to others computers aswell and
there it works just fine.
>Well anyway if i choose the FAT instead then i get to
the part when the Install wants to copy the files to the
harddrive and begins installation.
>But here the other part comes, sometimes it cant copy
the files to the harddrive at allt.
>It just says "Cant copy the selected file "xxxx.sys" and
then i get the option to ignore or try again.
>There is no problem with the CD as it works on other
computers.
>I can install WIN 98 with no problems at all aswell as
WIN ME.
