windows CD not working

[Guest shahzad]

whenever i try install the installation stops in the progress and message

appears that file is missing or put windows xp cd and give three options.

 

skip, retry, and cancel.

 

if i press retry it retries but stops the installation and says for shutdown.

 

i think the cd is not working anymore.

 

what should i do for that.

of the CD Rom and all the files on the CD.

Clean the cd with a soft, dry cloth and try again.
