If you get files not found during the copying stage, 
restart the repair install after inspecting the CD for 
any surface imperfections and if you have multiple CD 
drives, switch to the other CD drive. If the problem 
is not resolved, and you have no other option, continue 
with the install by closing all the files not found 
message windows until setup finishes. 
Apply the XP firewall (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283673), 
then run Windows update after reaching the desktop and 
the missing files should be replaced. 
 You should backup ALL data if you haven't done so 
prior to the repair install before making any other 
changes to the system. 
 If the system seems unstable, run defrag, reboot a 
few times and trouble shoot any error messages. 
If system cannot recover, double check if you have 
all data you can not replace backed up and then 
proceed with a Clean install (http://michaelstevenstech/cleanxpinstall.html)
