I recently built a new machine from the ground up:
Athlon XP 2000+
Asus A7N266-VM
512 MB DDR RAM
Western Digital WD800JB (80 GB ATA/100 8MB buffer)
Iomega zipCD CD-RW (currently the only optical drive)
some random floppy
I formatted the drive, installed XP Home (a brand new OEM disk I bought at a local store) on 20GB of the drive, leaving the rest free for a later Linux install. I also have an XP Pro upgrade disk, which I used successfully after installing the Home version. Everything was great, until I tried to put Red Hat 8.0 onto the remaining partition. I made some mistake and, long story short, decided it would be best to reformat the drive, and start over.
Having done that, all subsequent attempts to re-install the XP Home result in my getting to the setup screen - i.e., after the files have been successfully transferred to the hard drive, and the machine reboots and gets into the file setup portion of the installation - and having the following error pop up:
Error:
Fatal Error Installation Windows Xp SXS.DLL: Syntax error in manifest or policy file 'D:I386asms1000MSFTWINDOWSGDIPLUSGDIPLUS.MAN on line 0.
So, I booted into the recovery console, and looked at the GDIPLUS.MAN file, and it looks fine, although I don't know exactly what should be on line 0. It's just a few lines of XML.
I've disabled shadowing in the BIOS, and have tried various combinations of level 1 and 2 caching enable/disable and always come back to that same error.
