hi friends,
i formatted my pc & installed a fresh copy of windows xp sp3.during the installation,an error occured.windows cannot copy the file xxxxx.xxx &it repeated for several files.the CD worked perfectly in my friends pc.the dvd drive is also working perfectly.is it a problem of RAM.

Its a problem with the DVD drive. my friend had the same problem.

I used my dvd drive on his computer with the same disk ,and it worked fine.
