Since you're here, a quick Google shows that file to be for a firewire component. http://www.file.net/process/ohci1394.sys.html 1. Are you doing a clean install or trying to upgrade? If the latter, remove all extra hardware and install with only your video card, RAM, one hard drive, one optical drive. Remove all PCI cards. 2. If you are trying to do a clean install, are you sure the computer meets XP's system requirements? Problems with installing an operating system are usually caused by: a. Bad CD b. Bad optical drive c. Bad RAM d. Bad hard drive e. Incompatible hardware. You'll need to give us more information if you want focused help. http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html - Clean Install How-To http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...alling_Windows - What you will need on-hand http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/xpupgdissues.html - Upgrade Issues Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
