In response to this problem of the incorrect parameter, I have come across this a few times whilst trying to install xp prof, the way I get round it is to set the pc up as basic as possible. i.e. One hard drive (Master) and one CD Drive (as the slave) on the same IDE cable. I remove all the cards and only plug in a graphics card, a mouse, a keyboard and some memory. It has worked every time so far, although it seems that some of the more complex graphics cards have issues so it is safer to use the most basic you can find. Andy.
