Would like to try something else first. I want to save the settings of the previous install if possible. Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

This could be caused by a corrupt ISO file or use of a burned copy and not the original cd

You will need to copy the copy the cab files to your hard drive and then place the following file at top level.

Is your CD a copy of a genuine Microsoft CD? Did you use Nero Buring Rom to copy it? If it is a copy and you did use Nero, make sure your version of Nero is at least 5.5.4.0.
