Solve : computer won't install xp?

Answer»

Ok, I'm lost! I think I have tried every THING! I am trying to install xp on a p4 Intel 1.8 MHz with 256 ddr ram. The computer had xp it on it before It was given to me and I wanted to clean and reinstall from scratch but I can't get the windows files to copy. I get "file ____ was not copied CORRECTLY" or "setup cannot copy the file" I have tried 3 different drives, swapped ram, formatted numerous time, checked jumpers and CABLES, and have tried 2 different original full xp disks.
When I put the disk in it asks to PRESS any key, setup loading files, delete partition, set partition, and then problems start. I am stumped! I have to skip files to continue but get the "windows has detected a problem "screen. It stops at different files each time.

I have tried 3 different drives,
Are you talking about cd/dvd drives or hard drives?The three most common causes of failed XP installs are:
Bad RAM
Dirty or scratched CD
HDD errors.
