Could be a faulty CD drive, any time I have seen missing files off a CD, replacing the CD drive fixed it. CD drives have a limited life, the laser deteriorates or fills up with dust or something.
Filenames will not get you anywhere, they are stored in compressed form with a different extension on the CD and are renamed at installation.

Have seen several posts with this exact problem but no solution. At the
beginning of the install (upgrade of 2000 Pro to XP Pro Retail), I get an
error that says a file cannot be copied or is missing. The file is always a
seemingly random filename with a .sys extension, file is not on CD and can't
google it. CD is brand new and is good. Computer is clean - no viruses or
malware, etc. I have run up against this in the past and have, after trying
many different ways, finally gotten it to go but not this time (In fact - it
has happened on a completely brand new hard drive from a scratch install - so
it wasn't a virus in that case for sure). Have tried another XP CD to check
and the same thing happens. I promise - I have no spyware, etc. on the
system and the CD is good (in fact, brand new and I upgraded my home computer
from 2000 with it to check (then installed Vista that was waiting to be
installed on it- I'm legal guys!! - except I found out that I screwed up and
couldn't upgrade the XP Pro to Vista Home Premium!)) Enough rambling! Thanks
in advance - and I would rather not have an answer than to have Andrew E.
reply!
