Windows install not copying file to drive
I'm attempting a new installation with Windows XP SP1 disk (Oct 2002). clean and formated WD Raptor 74gig drive, MSI K8N Neo2 MOB, 2gig corsair DDR400 mem.
Install starts fine but when the install files are being copied to the drive I get errors saying the copied file is not a valid windows file. (my disk is a perfectly good original Windows disk) I've swapped hard drives, DVD install drives - no difference. It worked fine in the past and the disk still worked fine on an older KT3 ultra MOB (same disk and DVD install)
I'm even on my second K8N Neo2 MOB - thought that might be an issue somehow.
Now I'm guessing it is a bios version on the K8N that is not compatible with the older Windows disk - but I don't want to rebuy windows just to "try" that fix - Any ideas??
Thanks
