can anyone help me please. i want to install win xp pro on a hard drive but it keeps starting and after a minute it says the file nvrd32.sys cannot be found, please restart.

Hi hoggie. Are you using a hologrammed XP Install CD or a copy of one? Some times copies don't work as well as the original.

You also try cleaning the CD by wiping gently from the inner ring to the outside, with a soft cloth moistened with warm water. Don't wipe in circles around the D.

dirty cd/dvd rom may also cause this "unreadable error"
try cleaning both the media kit and the ROM.

Good luck!
