Ok guys,  I was over at a buddies house trying to setup IIS on an XP home box.  Didnt have the right files, needed to be from Win 2K not XP Pro.  So I decided to upgrade his machine instead.  I have the XP Pro Upgrade CD from the Microsoft Action Pack.  When it started to copy the files, it started asking for the files.  It had the Directory listed as D:\i386, which is right, so I hit browse, and there is the file.  Hit ok, and retry and still wont laod the file.  So I restarted the comptuer and it would copy a few more file and then the same thing.  Except different file.  I am going back tomm with a different CD and trying again, and if I fail, I will just load XP pro from scratch but I really dont want to waste my time with this one.  He doesnt really care, and I dont have the time to go out and get all the drivers he needs and stuff.  Any ideas?
