Win'XP disk no longer works.

[Guest Don J]

My Win'XP instatalation disk no longer works. I get to the end of the disk

and no changes have been made to the installation. The important thing I

have noticed:

 

1. The term 'Deleting Folder ??" now takes place for about 10 minutes.

This is new.

This is followed by a few minutes of "Creating File", which is

usual.

 

Please help!

It's hard to figure put what you're trying to do from what you've said in your

post.

 

Read over the cited tech articles and then post back with a more detailed

explanation of your problem. You must tell us whether you have an OEM system

(Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) and what kind of installation disk you're using (Windows

or a system recovery disk).
