Hey I have a copy of windows xp, its corporate edition so you can install and reinstall as many times you like without having to worry about that hardware piracy prevention bs or whatever. Here is my problem, I have the cd, but it does not install...into anything. I have tried over 5 or 6 computers. I have tried it on my desktop which runs windows 98 second edition, I have tried installing it onto my laptop which runs Windows 2000 NT Professional, tried installing it onto my dads computer which runs regular windows 98, tried installing into my sisters computer with 95, then we tried installing it onto an old IBM with a totally wiped clean hard drive, then we wiped my hard drive and tried installing it there. Would not install...on ANY of them, it would go through all the pre-installing bs then it would restart like it should, say WinXP starting up, and then it would go to the installing screen and say: Fatal Error and give me some gibberish about error reading from D:\asms\6000\msft\vcrtl or something like that and it tells me the installation cannot be completed. It has done that on EVERY single computer, now me and my pops have been trying since Christmas to get this shit to work and we have done everything, I put the files it couldn’t find onto separate disk and tried having it locate it from there didn’t work, I put all of windows xp install onto hard disk and ran from hard disk didn’t work either, Jesus we did a bunch other shit I cant remember, but man o man I am fresh outta ideas, Figured since you all are running XP, thought maybe u had a few ideas. Here is the interesting thing, we got the cd from our cousin who is an IT guy, and we gave it back and he gave us another one thinking the cd was messed up. So he tries to install it...works perfectly installs without a single hitch, not only that, when he was over our house he couldn’t get it work, so goddamn, I am so completely vexed. It is so amazingly frustrating beyond all belief. LoL...I just want my damn XP man that’s it, and dammit something keeps stopping it.... there is some other line it shows that some manifestation or some what fails, D:\l86 or something like that, I don’t even know, I have exhausted every single one of my last resources so im just shooting in the dark and trying to get any kind of help...if you or anyone for that matter can help me solve this problem I would be so damn grateful...thanks for your time
