XP Pro with SP1

[JIJI]

I have been trying for the past week to get the XP Pro
with SP1 to load properly in my computer. So far I have
loaded it three times and in that three times I have lost
the use of my dvd drive, all the data on my 250 gb scsi
drive and my patients with this. I am installing from a
new disk and it is really irritating to have to go
through all of these troubles and more to get this OS to
load. I am about to attempt my fourth load because the
installation wizard is not working properly, the drivers
for my two other cd drives has been corrupted somehow,
and when I put in the OS disk, it doesn't offer to repair
itself. Is there any relief for this?

Good luck in trying to accomplish this. You will most likely find more
valuable help in the correct forum though. This forum is regarding Office
Updates which are separate from Windows Updates. A post there might give
you more valuable information.

Thanks,
