I got myself a 160GB hard drive to replace my 20GB one for my Dell Latitude C840 laptop. When I start the XP installation, I ran into this pop-up.http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/CBa…
It says:
“An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing.
Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information.
Press OK to view the Setup log files”
So I clicked OK and got this pop-up:http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/CBa…
which says:
“Error:

I’m using the original Windows XP Pro CD that came with my laptop. Can anyone help me with this?

Try changing your RAM.
The disk is bad. You either need to repair the disk with a repair kit (cheapest) or replace it.http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d…
You have a corrupted version of XP on the disk and it cant recongise it.
Please check if the CD U r using is clean and not scratched
if it is clean there may be a problem with your CDROM drive it self
try anther CD even if not original if the problem exist Try to get an external CD Drive
and let me know if that is helps
The disk probably has a scratch on it. The scratch could be very small that you can’t see it. You could try cleaning the disk as it may have a dust particle stuck on it. If that fails you can buy a CD/DVD repair kit that might fix it.
If all the above fails, you might have to purchase another disk, or borrow the same OS disk from someone.
