SOLUTION IN CASE OF WRONGLY BURNED CD:
Hello all,
I had this same problem, and after some googling I found that it was due to a badly
burned CD (even though it was legally downloaded). Most likely I burned it in Track-At-Once
mode where it should have been Disc-At-Once. In any case, the file on the disc was
corrupted.
Moreover, the environment with which I had burned the install CD was already overwritten
by XP, so I would have to install the old OS all over again, just to burn a single
CD! Instead, I used a GNU/Linux LiveCD, and used it to mount the iso (which was on
a different partition - always keep documents/files and programs seperate), copy
the files to a temporary directory on the secondary partition, then point the installer
to this directory. Doing all this would mean that I wouldn't have to burn another
CD.
If you know your way around with linux it's done in 10 seconds (minus copying time),
and even if you don't it's just a matter of googling the relevant mount commands
(e.g. "linux mount cdrom").
Rebooting into the half-finished XP install (with the broken XP disc not in the computer),
I pointed the installer to the temporary directory (actually, I had to do this about
30 times - stupid installer!). Everything from there on worked as planned.
Hope this helps somebody,
Charl
