I'm in the process of recycling an older PC to introduce an elderly gentleman to the internet. The PC has 512meg of ram, and a celeron running at 800mhz. It was running XP pro when I got it. I've formatted it at the previous owner's request, and I'm using a disk I burned with XP Pro including service pack 3. I know the XP disk works, as I used it to install XP on my own PC.
At present, I can format the HDD, copy over the setup files, and then when it starts to install, I get the following error message:
Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms
Error Message: The parameter is incorrect
xxx
Fatal Error:
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
The parameter is incorrect.
