cannot install winXP : error code 4

To go along with the response below...How much RAM do you have installed? I had
problems trying to install Win9x OS' on systems with >768MB due to the internal
800MB limitation in the vcache.

Thank you for your help. I finally found what messed up with my computer. It
was me who connected the wrong connector to the my DVD-drive and CD-RW
drive. After I switched them, there was no
problem in the installation at all. I should have known this before I
formatted my harddisk and lost all data.
