Hey, a friend of mine is having a problem that is absolutely stumping me. He had a fairly stable install of xp that was an upgrade from 2000 so he decided to reformat and do a fresh install of xp. Problem is ever time he has tried to install it (up to about 20 times now) the cd rom dies midway through the install so the install ends up being incomplete and the repair functions don't appear to work either. The problem has also happened with 2000pro (which we tried to install after xp wouldn't install). We have also tried taking everything out of the system other than gfx card, one stick of ram, one cdrom and one hdd. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Thanks much all
