Edited after posting: My subject line has a typo: It should have read: Disk read error occured installing XP Pro.
I recently purchased a new hard drive as the former one crashed. I had my original XP Pro CD and installed fine but the service pack I had was 1. I downloaded all the service packs but the 500 gig hd still showed at 127 in "My Computer" In the interim, my original XP Pro CD had a crack on it and therefore was useless, so I shredded it in the shredder. A friend loaned me his XP Pro SP2 CD. Now when XP SP2 copies the files and then the system reboots to set up XP, I get an error message that reads:
A Disk error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
