Can't get XP or Win 2K to load on new system

Greetings and Help!
I'm putting together a new system and cannot get XP or 2K to load.
The load begins as normal but about 40% through the file copies, the windows loader starts giving errors that files (on the CD) are 'corrupted' and do I want to try again or skip files (yea...like system32.dll ..... sure I can leave that one out).
I have the system down to KVM.  I have tried turbo mode - default mode, hyper-threading on and off.  Just about bios option I can try.
I don't know what the bios version is because the board is at home and I am at work (shhhhh).  My guess is that it's 1.3 (I bought the board about 2 weeks ago from newegg).
Any ideas or solutions (other than a 357 port in my forehead)?
Thanks

I have had this happen to me in the past when trying to load Win 98. It was caused by the CD ROM having difficulties reading the installation cd which was brand new MS issue. I had to use another cd reader to do the installation. There was nothing wrong with the cd or the original reader, just slight incompatibility. The thing that puzzled me for so long was that the installation would halt at a different point every time with different files being indicated as corrupt. But I also would make sure my memory is securely installed and not faulty and that the CPU is not overheating.

  • HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?

    I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC.  The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library.  How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks
    Amanda

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost my Itunes library. How can I get my the music that I loaded from my own CDs back on my PC from my iPod?

    My hard drived crashed in my HP Pavilion desktop and I have installed a new one. I have Windows 2007. My Itunes library is gone. How can I get all the music that I loaded onto my iPod from my own CD's back into an Itunes library?

    The loading of audio files to iPod is designed to go one way only: computer to iPod. There are some third-party applications available which will rescue an audio library and write the files back to a PC HDD. The playlists might not copy, nor the album art work, nor videos but you might be able to recover all audio files. Some apps are open source and available for free download, for example: Senuti, Onyx. There are others which are  Windows-based; do a Google search to find out.

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5.

    I can't get my ring tones to sync to my new iPod touch 5. I see them in my tones folder, I've checked the "sync all" option and I've tried checking the individual tones and then sync. Each time iTunes says it has synced but the ring tones are not in the iPod.

    Me too it has been all week and driving me crazy--- I've done everything I've seen on these websites to no avail--- does apple monitor these posts and offer any help????????

  • How can I get rid of windows 8.1 in my new lenovo and get windows 7 put in?

    How can I get rid of Windows 8.1 on my new Lenovo laptop and install Windows 7?

    Hi,
    I'll assume your laptop was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1
    1. Start by copying all your personal folders (Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Favourites, local databases,
    hosts files, etc) into an external disk, DVD, tape, whatever.
    2. If I were you, I wouldn't use Windows 8.1 backup tool, I'm not sure Windows 7 Restore applet will be able
    to read a Windows 8.1 backup.
    3. Check that you have all the necessary licenses, CDs and executables to reinstall your former Windows 7
    applications, components, browsers, plugins, Java, .NET Frameworks, etc. Be aware that some applications require
    to keep same hostname and/or same IP and/or or same local username (or all of them) as they were on the original
    Windows 7 machine.
    4. Check that you have your Windows 7 CD and license handy.
    5. Do you have a Windows 7 image backup of your laptop (prior to the Windows 8 upgrade)?
    5.a Yes? Then restore that image and restore your personal folders on top. You might need to
    install or reinstall some of the applications I mentioned on #3
    5.b No? You'll have to format your laptop, install Windows 7 from scratch, create your local
    user with administrative rights, install SP1, install necessary updates, reinstall all your
    applications and finally restore your personal folders.

  • The hard drive on my laptop that contained Elements just died.  Can I get a second copy for installation on my new PC?

    The hard drive on my laptop that contained Elements just died.  Can I get a second copy for installation on my new PC?

    The iPhone is not a backup device.
    Restore the iTunes library from the backup that should be kept of your media and other important files.
    Syncing the iPhone to a new library (in this case, it will be a new library unless you have a complete backup of the iTunes folder pre-crash) will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with content from the new library.
    As for iOS5, we really do not know until Apple officially releases it.

  • I keep getting this "text" saying, "It's time to change your ringtone". What does that mean? I can't get this other ringtone to download to my new iPhone 5s. Wjosten's suggest'didn't help. Sorry.

    I keep getting this "text" saying, "It's time to change your ringtone". What does that mean? I can't get this other ringtone to download to my new iPhone 5s. Wjosten's earlier  suggest didn't help. Sorry. I tried what he said to do, but I could not get the ringtone "coqui" to download to the phone after connecting it to the iTunes stores and backing it up. The ringtone in question is in my library, but I cannot copy it or move it to my iPhone. Hope somebody can help.
