Hi it was the RAM it was badly seated i puled it out and the problem has stoped so THANKS TO EVERY ONE FOR THERE HELP

Hi it is after it has half installed before the registration .The computer reboots to fines the install

on restart i preset F9 went into boot menu the sequence had gone back to floppy so i put it to cdrom and it went back to start all over .I don't now what it should be at this point should it be on hard drives

i tryd swapping the cds it made no differants

the drive was working in the old pc when i removed it. when it reboots i will swapp the cd

the hard drive is working and two cds do the sane

yes the cdrom is first in boot order

the hard drive is out of a another pc and it work fine i have tried another drive whit sane result

i have two windows cd home and pro both windows original the sane happens at the same time so i don`t think it is the cd

the xp cd is original copy

when booting xp from cd all goes well until it needs to restart it goes to black that says "disc read error occurred" press CTRL+ALT and DEL to restart after doing this it goes back to black screen. can anyone provide a solution to this . TIA
