When doing the recovery it says Error! Cannot copy file C:\1386\DRIVER.CAB from disc.?

Question

when i hit ignore.it shows a bunch of other error messages.then it goes to a blue screen that says " a problem has been detected & windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. etc..."i erased the hard drive through the manufacturers menu option 7.

Answer 1

Manufacturer's Recovery tool might have corrupted(wild guess)

While recovering the tool searches for your OS image , and maybe that was stored in C:\ drive in your case (though is most cases it a hidden partition), you might have deleted some files from there.

Read this for blue screen memory errors
