Reloading Windows XP Professional

[Guest Nukeguy]

I am trying to load a fresh copy of XP Professional. I re-format the

partition, I say okay to a fresh load, and it gets about 20 minutes into the

load and I get an error message that states, "An error has been encountered

that prevents setup from continuing...Unable to find file 'Manifest parse'."

It then says click on OK to see the problem. How can I get past this error.

It is like something is missing on my HD or XP disk. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

1. Could be the CD or the hard drive.

 

2. This is the group for 64-bit Windows. Is this 64-bit Windows you

are trying to install?

If you don't luck out and get the answer here you might try

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

Remove the DVD from the drive. Wash it with warm water and a mild dish

detergent. Rinse with warm water. Dry with a clean fine cotton cloth. Check

carefully for scratches, &c, if OK, re-insert in DVD drive. Try again.

I'm sure you meant CD, Tom. But the instructions are the same.

 

Another valid question is the source of the CD - is it an official one? Or

one burned from some other source. If so, it could be a bad CD. And even if

an official one, it could be damaged. Or, as you point out, dirty.

Yes, the acrylic plastic composite object., circular with a circular hole in

its centre. ;-)

 

You correctly enlarge the possible-fault list, and all are found too often.

All except "dirty" require replacement media from some good source. Of

course, one needs the same type as the original: retail for retail, OEM for

OEM. &c.

Or template for cutting diet-sized pizzas servings?

Or coaster for convenience retractable tray included in computers in a door

labeled "DVD" or "CD"?
