Asms Windows Xp Professional Service Pack 3 Download

Using the original windows cd home edition disk for Windows XP service pack 1, I tried to reinstall the operating system. The following fatal error pops up: ' An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing. One of the components that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

View the setup log file. System setup log -(D: WINDOWS setuperr.log Error: Installation failed E: 386 asms. Error message: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error'” None of the recommendations made in this expert database such as Title: 'D: I386 asms problem With installing windows xp pro', and various other that I searched worked for me. I diagnosed the original CD and a replacement media CD that was sent by Microsoft. Neither the original nor the replacement works.

In fact booting from the new CD which is service pack 2 crashes the computer and restarting the windows setup simply rejects the new CD and asks for the old one. I cleaned the CD ROM disk drive with two laser cleaning diskettes, and with pressurized air with no effect. Only the original CD allows me access to the recovery command. The BIOS command is not working. The chkdsk c: /r or /p finds no errors in the hardisk drive.

Regedit.exe does not work. During setup I am able to access the command line by pressing SHFT F10, as outlined in Microsoft Article ID: 311755, however regedit does not work although I can access all the drives and copy the files. I burned two CDs with the file I386 asms and completely burned a CD with a copy of the new and old CD and tried to fool the CD rom drive to no avail.

I have opened a case with Microsoft technical support but they have been unable to determine the cause. Has any body experienced similar problem and can you help? Further, the files from Microsoft Knowledge database; 812247, 307848, etc. Have not helped. I tried the Dev Shed Forums Operating System Windows Help and none of their suggesiong have helped either. Reinstalling the system in a different partition has failed.

Short of buying a new CD ROM Drive, a new harddrive, or new RAM (or a new computer) I don’t know what else to do. Can someone give me some help.

Thanks, Yvon. It sounds, from the error message you have given, as though setup is trying to locate an error log ono the CD-Rom Drive which obviously contains a read-only medium and couldn't possibly have had the setup error log written to it. Hot virtual keyboard v5.3.1.0. OK, so you are saying that you have Windows XP installed on the C: and D: partitions of your hard drive. You stated in your question that setup was aborted after an error message: >>> 'An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing.

Whoops, thick fingers hit the return key in error.the setup instructions from a file CD: i386 WINNT.SIF if one exists. This setup file can contain a number of custom setup instructions that just MIGHT be trying to write files to the CD. Reference: Booting to a floppy and running CD: i386 winnt.exe DOES NOT look for or take setup instructions from winnt.sif, but you could use the approriate options in the command line telling it to use an 'Unattend.txt' file with similar content to the winnt.sif file. Winnt.exe command line options: I am just suggesting that if this is a custom CD, then there could be a wrong setting in the.sif or unattend.txt. The above is just a theory, but it is more likely that you have a damaged CD.
