Downloaded copies of Windows typically don't work because they are illegal and once Windows tries to verify the software or register and activate itself your installation will fail. As long as you have your own Windows product key (25-digit combo of letters and numbers, legally it should be attached to your machine) you can borrow a friend's legal Windows disk and install it that way. If you don't know a single person that owns Windows XP then you could be in trouble since downloaded versions will probably continue to give you the same error. If they do end up installing properly Windows will fail on verification and only work for a limited period of time after that.

is your XP-CD scratched? [if yes, the CD is your problem]



or if not:

-are you have another computer? or your friends / neighbor have a computer?

borrow CD-ROM drive from them and install it in your PC, restart your installation.



if still got error buy another XP-proffesional



if that doesn't solve your problem, bring your PC wothout monitor to service center [this maybe your Harddisk or your Motherboard is broken]

You have downloaded an illegal copy of Windows and so there can be no guarantees.
