Windows XP Setup cannot copy file.....

[Ext User(ajklein4@gmail.com)]

Assembled all new parts for my new system:
Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard w/ nVidia 650i chipset
Intel Core2 Duo e6420 CPU
Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 2 X 1 GB
Antec True Power Trio 550 W PSU
Seagate SATA II 400 GB HDD
Lie-On EIDE 20 DVD/CD drive
Antec P180 case

Windows XP Prof CD formatted the HDD just fine, but when it came time
to load Windows, there were immediate error messages. " Setup could
not copy the file *.sys. Press <Enter> to skip file. Press <F3> to
quit..... Windows CD may be damaged " RATS!! My CD was pristine. I
was thinking bad CD ROM reader, bad EIDE cables, BAD SATA HDD, missing
SATA driver from early Windows XP CD, bad motherboard memory
controller. An Internet search resulted in many opinions as to what
the cause might be. The most reliable opinions seemed to point towards
faulty memory. One Microsoft Knowledge Base article also attributed
this error message to defective RAM. I remeber that I had an old copy
of the free download memory testing program Memtest86.
My system failed the memory diagnostic program Memtest86 miserably (>
1 million errors on first pass). Memtest86 ran error free on my older
well-used PC. I tried using just one module of DDR2 and Voila!
Memtest86 ran flawlessly. By using multiple configurations of the
paired modules, either one or both at a time, it was proven that bank
B1 on the motherboard was faulty. Memtest86 ran perfectly by using
both RAM modules in A2 and B2 but I'll be returning the motherboard
anyway. I have not gone on to try to load Windows after the re-
positioning of the RAM modules to the good slots.

No need to...I know what the problem is now if you read the post. But
thank you for the reply.

not sure what you solved, it seems you could still have the problem. 9 of 10 times failing
to copy a file or CRC errors are bad disks and or ROM. Memory is another culprit and that
maybe the case here, but you haven't proved it yet.

Pointless. Such errors are always the RAM.
