E:/I386/asms. Error message

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have Windows XP Home edition installed on a computer and I have Windows 2002 XP Pro Upgrade w/Service Pack 2 CD. I have been trying to install it and during the installation I get the following message:

Installation Failed:

E:/I386/asms. Error message: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Fatal error:

One of the components that windows needs to continue set up could not be installed. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Then it goes to a black screen and does nothing. I've started it twice.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or what might be the solution for this?

 

Thanks

 

Peter
