I am trying to do fresh windows xp install on IBM think Center A30. Machine type is A1U 8198. 2.8 Ghz processor, 1GB RAM . I took out the original non SCSI Hard drive because it look like it died. I replaced it with SCSI IBM Ultrastar model DDYS-T18350 hard drive and I am having hard time installing any operating system on it. I tried, Xp, Windows 2000 Advanced server, Windows NT. Every time I get the error " set up can not copy the file ntkrnlpa.exe" I took out SCSI hard drive and tried doing fresh install on the original hard drive after reformatting, still the same error. Any idea what could be the reason? Couple of weeks ago system had been running normal on the same machine with original non scsi hard drive but then computer started freezing more often. At hat point I thought of changing the hard drive.
