it could be that the disk you are installing from is corrupt that is causing the error code, use one of the iso here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...64-bit-220877/ which ever version you are trying to install and burn it to disc then you can use the product key to validate it.sigpicComment

The error code means the data leaving the disk is different from the data being transferred to the hard drive.
A would do what Lagerland suggested as i see this often with older machines.
By switching to IDE, Windows will load the required driver during install for data transfer and update the registry.
Windows 8 doesn't bother to change the registry and will fail to install, another smart move from Microsoft in killing older hardware..."Windows - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."Comment
