Okay, when I try to install Windows, at the main downloading screen, it gives me a Fatal Error: Access Denied. I tried 3 Windows XP disks, too! Any help?

Did you delete, then recreate the partitions?

 

[Arnack]

Yes, I did.

 

[Old Rich]

Did you disconnect all external peripherals except the monitor, keyboard and mouse, and be sure those are not USB, or wireless? . . Any internal USB card should also be removed.

 

[Arnack]

Yes, I did remove everything. I did this before, but now it just gives me an error.

Hard drive or cd drive is not up to it, now that doesn't mean they both cannot do some functions but need to be perfect for XP install. I assume you are booting to cd, right?

When you deleted and recreated partitions, did you reformat them ?
