Having trouble loading Windows XP
 |
I have a hard drive that I formatted and dropped into a Gateway PC and cannot seem to load Windows XP. It tells me that all kinds of .dll files are missing or corrupted. HELP!!

Love the sense of humor. They are new disks, but i get to about 98% loaded and then it starts with several .dll errors and I hit escape to get a little further, then finally it says windows has shut down to prevent damage. I wish you could reach this far, I could use your help.
