While I was formatting my pc (XP sp2 home) earlier, my dad accidentally walked into the power cable causing the computer to shut down mid-installation..
I thought it wouldn't be a problem, and that I could just reformat it again, but on further attempts I can only reach the part shortly after you accept the User Agreement where it asks to hit ENTER so it can check the CD drive. Shortly after I do this it displays the message "Setup could not read the CD or the CD is not a valid windows CD" and tells me to put in a valid windows xp/2000 disc to continue (despite a legit one already being in there).
I then have the choice of restarting (and eventually arriving at the same place again) or checking the disc again, which gets me nowhere.
Any suggestions?
