As posted below:
"During the installation I'm getting a message: "Windows could not load the installer for CDROM..." and "Windows could not load the installer for disk drive...Contact hardware vendor for assistance.
The install seems to be continuing though...
I'm installing on a newly created C partition.
Any ideas?
Thx
Gary

I continued with the installation but can't get past the beginning of the Windows splash screen. The monitor goes blank. Both of my hds are recognized in the bios. Is this related to the problem listed above?
Thx much for any help.
G.

Algel: Is this an upgrade or a clean install? If it is an upgrade, XP is probably hanging on old files. Clean install is needed. The other possibility is that your CDROM is dying.
