Trouble Installing XP Pro....HELP

Trying to install XP Pro, having two problems - seem to be driver related:

- when installing from the CD-ROM, it gets to the point where it restarts the computer, and puts up the message:

Insert the CD labeled WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL CD-ROM
into your CD-ROM drive

Press ENTER when ready

....the CD has been and is still in the drive - but it can't seem to recognize it.

...I've removed Easy CD Creator 3, as I thought that may be causing the problem, but no luck.

- I then created a i386 folder on the hard drive and ran setup from there. It gets further, but puts up the message:

Setup cannot copy the file AMDK6.SYS

.....if I ESC to ignore, I get a message that WINDOWS could be damaged when I next boot.

It displays the same message foe about eight files....for example CBIDF2K.SYS.

My config is an IBM Aptiva AMD-K6/2 300Mhz, with 192 Meg.\

Any help would be muchly appreciated.
 
For starters Easy cd 3 is not compatable with xp. Looks like your problem lies there somewhere. Try doing a system restore to before easy cd 3.
 
Thanks for the post. I think it's an original, but I bought it from a small local place I haven't dealt with before. I'm not technical - where do I check what it's labeled?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
