Cyclic Redundancy Check when trying to install Windows XP Pro SP3.

Hi, first time posting and I did check for online and on these forums for the answer. I am stumped really and I don't know what to do. I go through the Partitioning part with Boot Camp fine. It's where I am on the blue Windows XP screen installing it, has all those 'helpful tips' on the page.
Well it says it's installing and will take 39 mins and after 2 mins a menu pops up saying there was a critical error that happened: Cyclic Redundancy Check. It basically says the install Disc is dirty and cant be read. The problem is I bought this disc off of Ebay and am worried I can't get an exchange for a faulty disc. Its the real deal too, it's not a burnt disc or anything.
So does anyone know what to do? I cleaned the disk, rubbing it with a fine cloth...has no visible marks on it at all.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
you might wanna try making a full 1:1 disc-copy of your Windows XP CD.
You can do that with SimplyBurns for example http://simplyburns.berlios.de/
(Disk Utility can do it also, but I find SimplyBurns easier to use).
Retry installation with the Copy.
Hope it helps
Stefan

  • "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)" when trying to uninstall/reinstall

    I get this error message when trying to delete the iTunes and quicktime folders from Program Files. The programs appear uninstalled except these folders cannot be deleted. I have opened the folders and deleted everything inside that I could delete without receiving the same error message... but I'm still left with files on my computer and still cannot reinstall the latest iTunes/quicktime properly.
    This seems to be the step that is preventing any of the suggested fixes for my iTunes problems from working.

    I guess there is a problem with your XP CD, probably scratched or did not burn successfully. Have you tried it with another installation cd?

  • Data error (cyclic redundancy check) when installing windows xp..

    hi guys.. i'm new here.. just switched to macdom a few days ago but unfortunately, i have been having problems trying to install windows xp with sp 2 on my system using boot camp. everytime i install it, i get to the setup screen ("39 minutes till setup rah rah rah", "windows xp is awesome because it has this cool interface etc... rah rah rah") and then the error of doom comes out -_-
    the error given is;
    an eror has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing
    one of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed
    data error (cyclic redundancy check)
    if you are installing from a cd, there might be a problem with the disc; try cleaning the disc or using another disc
    if you are installing from the network, it is possible that not all of the files were copied correctly to your disk drive. run the disk checking utility on your installation drive from the recovery console and start setup again
    press ok to view the setup log file
    i have tried numerous times without fail and it is getting to my head.. gah.. if someone could help me out, it would be massive and i would sell my soul to you! (kidding).. thanks for reading!
    p/s: my setup is;
    Macbook
    2.1ghz
    1gb ram
    120gb hard disk
    dvd/cd-rw combo drive
    the basic setup pretty much.. again.. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much guys!

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Network Connection error when Trying to Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    Thank you to anyone who can help me out here. I have a brand new machine with known working wifi and wired ethernet adapters (works under Windows 8.1) I am attempting to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2. During the install process, the system connects
    to the internet to download updates to help along the install. No problem here. Further down the road after restarting several times and now during the "Configuring Windows Server Essentials" step of the install, I am told "There is no network
    connection. Please fix the connection issue and try again."
    When troubleshooting the connection, I am told that the wifi adapter drivers may not be installed. I have a wireless card in the machine and have also tried disabling the wifi adapter and have been connected successfully via the ethernet port this whole
    time.
    Help, I'm stuck and have been to this point in the install 4-5 times already.
    Thank you.

    Is this a laptop?  Can you remove the wifi? Disable it in BIOS?
    Does the wifi have an IP and internet when it throws the error?
    BTW, when the wizard ask about updates say no.  Takes way too long and does not help anything
    Change the binding order and put the wired on top.
    The Steps?
    Just open your Network and Sharing Center. (Change adapter settings)
    Press an ALTkey on your keyboard to show the menu bar.
    Click on the Advancedmenu
    choose Advanced Settings option
    Adjust your binding order for your NICs to ensure your wired ones are at the TOP

  • I keep getting error code 0x800700570 when trying to install Windows 7 via BootCamp.

    I have tried several times to install Windows 7 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 running 10.7.2. I have installed Windows several times in the past to other computers without problems. I have tried 4 or 5 times and removed the partition in between each attempt, alas to no avail:-( I keep getting the error code 0x800700570, which leads me to think something is missing, but what I don't know:-( Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance:-)

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Black Screen when trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp

    Have seen many similar questions with not one solid answer.  I have a brand new 17" MacBook Pro with the regular 750 gig grive and a 200 something gig ssd primary drive. Running the latest version of OS X of course.
    Updated all of my software and then opened up Bootcamp and partitioed 40 gigs on the SSD drive for Windows 7. Stuck in the disc when it asked me to and clicked continue. It rebooted then immediately went to a black screen and tahts where it stays. I ahve tried both the 64bit and 32bit discs and it does the same no matter which one I use.
    How do I get windows 7 to install properly?
    Just my luck it says Apple doesnt offer phone support for installing Windows via Bootcamp.

    Try using Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume, then redo it.
    Waste of time and don't need to - there are Apple tech support articles
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    There is/was one directed at the iMac w/ black screen.
    Using an electronic version, an ISO, bought through school, burned wtih Apple Disk Utility - that has to be burned at slowest reduced burn speed 2X to work - won 't boot, installs but fails during or after, various issues. But you seem to have both, therefore retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Is OS X also on the SSD? 40GB is actually a tight fit for Windows 7 64-bit. I could tell you why but just trust me when you add up page, hibernation, the SP1 update temp space requirment all on top of the 20GB for Windows itself. And then any data, applications, cache files.
    I'd disconnect the 750GB drive.
    There were updates last week.
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    "Solid answers" - really?
    A. there is a forum for Boot Camp
    Boot Camp
    Another for MacBook Pro
    MacBook Pro
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
    And this one? is for workstations (tower) Mac Pro.
    I know some tech articles say Apple only supports installing or using BCA and any issue with Windows is not under their support, though even there the Apple Boot Camp driver support have various issues and more trouble than I would expect or accept to claim "Windows on Mac" can be called supported - it isn't as seamless and of course no hand-holding.
    There is one step, feature added to 10.6.6 to "download" and save drivers to CD or flash memory - that has been broken and DOA (MacBook Air does need USB DVD external driver and that works) but having a full Boot Camp 3.2 on a memory stick and not having to go through 3.0 and 3.1 to get to the current supported version of 3.2? that doesn't work at all. - Which has led to 100x posts over "what do I do?" with it in the broken state it is in.
    This is an Apple SSD, or 3rd party? The 2011 MacBook Pro has had trouble as it should suppport SATA3 and that was what one of the firmware updates addressed.  Performance and lack or presence of TRIM in OS X is another area of concern.
