Windows Wont Install |

I bought a new HD and tried to install XP pro, It formatted fine then,
When it Gets to the "Copying files for installation" part
These Messages Keep Popping Up:
Windows Cannot Copy This File: xxxxx.xxxx
Then it gives options to retry or skip
It does this for every other file or so |

Most file copy issues are due to a problem with either the CD
drive or the CD itself. Take a look for scratches or smudges on
the CD. Is this an original installation CD or a copy? Avoid
using copied CD's. You might also consider changing the CD drive.
Finally, since this is a new HD, recheck your cable connections.
Good luck
