Windows xp cannot copy file error

I repeated this until I had tested each module individually. On module 3 the computer revolted. It would not initiate the boot sequence, or for that matter shut down, all the while beeping continuously similiar to buffering up too many keystrokes.

I then removed the bad module and installed the three "known" good modules and the memory tested OK. As further verification, I added the fourth known bad module to the other three and once again the computer would not properly boot or, again, shut off. I called Crucial Customer Service and explained the problem.

The representitives one tech and one CSR could not have been more friendly, professional and helpful. I was promptly provided with an RMA and instructions for returning the defective module for a no-charge replacement. Within a few minutes I also received an email verifying all the information.

I don't know why that would make it skip at the same point every time though I tried with another optical drive, but it was the same problem, and the problem started with the same file, so I don't think its an optical drive problem.

The use of ad-blocking software hurts the site. I am having the same issue. The disc is really clean with no signs of damage or scratches. Is there any thing more technical as to why this is happening other than a bad lens or disc. I play games on my CD Rom, so I don't think it's that. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you. I had this problem never before. Lamentonegro; You didn't say what your PC is, but one reason a Windows 10 install would fail, is that the motherboard is too old, and the program 'Slimdrivers' could not find the drivers for it. With the Windows XP 64bit, have you installed and run it ok before? Can your PC run 64 bit XP? Installing Ubuntu will overwrite Windows on your 'C' drive, so it's worth trying as it's free, and only takes 20 minutes to do.

If not then you can run 32 bit versions of Windows or Linux distros. Windows 10 will need certain drivers for USB etc, but the motherboard will have to be fairly modern for it to work fully.

Several years ago I had this same problem as you are reporting, which was caused by the CD drive being faulty, I had to buy a new one, then Windows XP did install proprerly. Of course XP is not supported now, nor Vista, so it's better to move on to 7 or 8 if you don't get 10 to work with your PC. Last edited: May 10, The best way to fix all problems is to buy two different Windows xp Settle for it running XP 32 bit rather than reinstalling a 64 bit OS which in any case may not work.

I have 32 bit XP Home on my desktop P4 3. It runs really well. Remember that XP goes to SP3 and there are loads of updates after that. It's easy to believe you have installed XP whereas you have only just started. Last edited: Jun 15, Before, I installed Xp from my CD many times without problems. Now, I had to do this becouse of a virus? It's possible that the installation fails because the harddisk is infected? My first tentative to reinstall windows worked, then I tried to run a virus test with eset online.

After a while it said that it's not enough memory, so I changed the values for the Virtual Memory.
