I am in the process of doing an XP Pro clean install on my desktop. I made it past the format portion, but during the file copy portion, setup could not copy pro_seg4.swf or pro_seg5.swf. I never had this problem before, and this is my 3rd or 4th clean install of XP on this system since I got it back in 2000 or 2001. I even burned the XP CD to see if the original CD was too scratch, but the same problem occurred. I skipped these two files and continued the install. What are these files? Is there a work-around? Can they be manually copied after installation? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the link

One more question: I just installed the XP Pro CD. My ethernet controller does not work. Can I install SP2 without doing any updates on the original XP installation or installing SP1?

Yes...SP2 includes SP1, users can just install SP2 if they are using an XP install without any SPs as a base.

This is not true for SP3 installation. SP1 (or SP2) must be installed on the system before users can install SP3 (which includes SP2).
