smashbrohammer, it seems like the installation media (XP CD) is bad. Try using a different Windows XP CD. http://learnitfast.blogspot.com

Try washing the CD with warm, soapy water. Pat dry with a soft cloth, before use. Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.

The 'ntkrnlmp.exe' looks valid but the 'WIN_NT$. ~BT' doesn't! Is that a legal Microsoft CD?
