    Hi
    Little help needed
    Installing xp onto my 8gb ssd acer
    It all goes fine until system reboots after copying setup files - after this i get an error saying file 'asms' cannot be found on disc2
    Am using an external usb disc drive to install windows...
    This HAS worked in the past - needed to rebuild tho - but now i cant get past this problem.

    Any ideas...?

    Thanks
    Karl.

    most likely a corrupted CD. Just use another XP disc or burn another 1. No big deal.
