Defective OEM CD
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Kernel on 15 Jun 2010 20:48 I purchased a Win XP Pro OEM CD on ebay several months back. The package was sealed, and it included a COA. When I ran the setup today in a new PC I built, it stopped numerous times with a popup saying a certain .dll can not be copied (duser.dll; wind_w.chg.wmp.dll, etc). It gave me the choice to try again with Enter; and most of the time it went on copying dlls in the setup. I got thru about half a dozen of those problems, and when the copying portion of the installation was about completed, a popup said STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image dll url.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum. From that point the installation failed, of course. I'm past the 45 day deadline for ebay to help me. Is there any chance Microsoft will provide a replacement CD? Yeah, I know, two chances, slim and none... TIA

If the copy process goes through, the copy might work. or... Do you know someone who has an XP pro OEM CD? Just make a copy and used that copy instead with your own COA.

Yes, I copied it for the purpose of slipstreaming SP3. During that process it also indicated that there was a problem with the OEM.
