- Windows XP Pro clean install issues, SP2 issues too...
- Posted by Howie on July 6th, 2005
I have been trying to install Win XP Pro on a P3 - 733 machine with an
Intel D815EEA motherboard/CPU. I bought a 256 MB RAM stick of AZENRAM
from Futureshop (Canada eh!). I used the two spare 13 GB HD's that we
kicking around as well. I flashed the BIOS too (I read that one should
do this before a clean XP install).
The install goes ok until I get the message:
"the file xxxxx.xxx was not copied correctly. The file setup placed on
your HD is not a valid Windows XP system image. If you are installing
from CD, there may be a problem with the Windows XP CD." After each
error message it gave me the option to "Retry or Skip". "
xxxxx.xxx stands for various files, such as "dxmrtp.dll" or
"localsec.dll"...
I hit "Retry" many times, but it appeared to eventually copy the file
correctly. This happened numerous times during the install (at least 15
times).... it eventually got through the install however. I tried
another WIN XP CD (original, not copied)... same problem.
I "googled" the error message and some people say it's a bad RAM stick,
others say a bad hard drive, CD drive or Power Supply. Others say it's
the motherboard.
XP starts up ok, and it appears to be functioning ok as well. I have
install a great deal of updates too. When I tried to install Service
Pack 2, I got this service pack 2 setup error message: "a component's
file does not match the verification information present in the
component manifest." Service pack 2 then uninstalls itself.
I have ran two RAM diagnostic utilities (DocMemory and Memtest86), the
RAM tested ok. I switched hard drives, no fix... swapped CD drives,
still no fix. I even changed the Power Supply... no fix. I swapped out
the motherboard/CPU (I have a spare)... still no fix... this is
starting to get on my nerves. It sounds like the original install
wasn't a good one, even though the machine seems to run ok (this post
is sent to you on this machine)...
Should I tweak the BIOS settings? Any ideas / tips / suggestions /
advice? I'm at the end of my rope.

Amusing that your claim above strengthens the case that you are a fool,
Howie, given that you can't remember your own questions even when they are
preserved in the text you're quoting.
Deranged.
Wow, how very precise.
Non sequitur.
Dicto simpliciter, Howie. Please try to avoid sweeping generalisations.
Converted conditional fallacy, Howie. "If A then B, therefore if B then A."
Fuck it off. Install linux. It's worse. You'll love XP after that.
No there's not.
Why do you make so many mistakes?
Classic illogical circular reasoning by someone who is a simpleton.
You are always making excuses.
Another unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.
Classic invective, as expected from someone who lacks a logical argument.
Why did you give up on trying another win xp cd?
Tell some cunt that cares.
If you took your time, you wouldn't make so many errors.
You say it is the motherboard; I will say "you gaping, inadmissible, bawling
goggle-eye."
Get fucked.
I too have install a great deal of updates too.
How many times have you tried to install service pack 2?
On what basis do you call that 'proof', Howie?
I too have ran two ram diagnostic utilities.
Fallacy of accent, Howie. Fallacy by shifting the meaning.
Irrelevant, given that I never said anything of the kind, Howie.
Utter fiction.
Still suffering from reading comprehension problems?
Have a spare? That's a joke right?
Classic hypocrisy, as evidenced by your being manipulative, Howie.
Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim, laced with invective, as
expected from someone who is meddling and controlling.
Get fucked.
Advice on what?
Snide.
Incongruous.
