Windows XP Install Issue
When trying to install XP Home OEM on a machine I have here it keeps wanting to skip files because it cannot find them. I have tried various different CD's and its the same, just got another HDD and CDRom tonight to try and it still plays up so my only guess is the RAM, anyone any ideas?

Plastic is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Windows XP Install Issue
That's a typical symptom of bad RAM. Try removing / refitting / using only one if you have two or more / getting new RAM.

Memtest86+ would help prove it is the RAM and if you hae more than one stick would show which.
