Dos format and partition creation is better IMHO, but as stated, XP can do it, if a bit messy.
There are a multitude of reasons why the file won't copy. The above, as stated by snowmonkey.
XP installer may not like a piece of your hardware.... Two hard drives of the exact same model, yet XP shows the "can't copy" error with only one of them. That sort of unexplained thing.
The CD isn't read properly, though I have found the installers fusiness to be the real problem rather than the CD or drive. SP2 is incredibly pedantic.
A bios setting... See if you can disable DMA in the hard drive settings until the first part of the install is done. Or disable memory speed up options etc.
