Errors during XP Professional install

[Kelth]

Some help would be grealtly appreciated with this, I just got this error while trying to install my XP Professional tried to google some stuff in that message and nothing came up. I used Nlite to slipstream my xp cd, and i really only did some basic stuff, so its hard for me to believe that I removed some sort of needed component. Any Ideas?

thanks :)

its narrowed down to the disc and/or drive. More then likely you just need to try a different disc. Im a tech for aliving install xp atleast every other day, when we get copy errors we swap the disc out for another. its very common.
