f the second parameter (0xbbbbbbbb) of the Stop error is 0xC0000032, then the file system is damaged.\n\nIf this is the case, restart the computer to the Recovery Console, and then use the chkdsk /r command to repair the volume. After you repair the volume, check your hardware to isolate the cause of the file system damage.\n\nTo do this, use the following steps:\n1.Start your computer with the Windows startup disks, or with the Windows CD-ROM if your computer can start from the CD-ROM drive.\n2.When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to select the repair option.\n3.If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.\n4.Type the administrator password when you are prompted to do so.\n\nNOTE: If no administrator password exists, press ENTER.\n5.At the command prompt, on the drive where Windows is installed, type chkdsk /r, and then press ENTER.\n6.At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart your computer.For additional information about how to use the Recovery Console in Windows XP, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Compatibility problem.\nTwo options, upgrade or degrade source & destination.\n\nIf you find and download only *.itl, it could complain about other files. So, don't be focused on this particular Library.itl only, and choose one of two options.\nI prefer upgrade to degrade.

Are you getting an error message? and are you using a legal OS on your computer? That might be one of the reasons why you can't download it.

Generally the .cab files are pretty large.  You would probably have a hard time finding them.  Does the disc you are installing from look damage?  Maybe you can try and repair it if so.  You could also try installing on a different computer.  Then you can copy over the needed files.  I have had that work in the past.\n\nIs this on a floppy disk?  If so, you can try and repair the disk.  Just do a scandisk on the disk itself.  If it is a CD, then try and get a repair kit.

invalid partition table is a severe error on the disk. you have to install that disk in your computer as slave disk and when you can see it you have to format it.

I don't think it is possible, but I'm not 100% sure. But say 98% sure, I remember reading that it must be on the primary partition containing the OS.

Re-Download and try again. There seems to be a conflict or a wrong command. Re-Downloading will solve problem.

The only viable option besides copying to the hard drive is the Disc Stakka from Imation. See more info here: http://www.imation.com.au/products/disc_stakka/index.htm\nhttp://www.imation.com/products/disc_stakka/index.html\n\nAdded the U.S. link. My mistake.

It's looking for the system startup disk.  Leave your computer on for an hour or so, and see if it defaults to the Startup.  Happened to my friend after he accidentally changed it.  Then when you get back onto OSX, change it back to startup in System Preferences.

try again.. it's a download error, it never got to the install.

Install the OS again unless you know how to restore all the system files I would just stick to doing an install.

Do you have a disk in your "A" drive?\nIf it doesn't find any IO.SYS of MSDOS.SYS files to continue, it usually displays an error message.

Is the drive USB or firewire? You may have a bad port on the desktop. To check this:\ngo to the apple menu in the top left corner\nchoose about this mac. when the window pops up, select more info...\nthis opens System profiler\nclick on usb and firewire to see if they register. If it says nothing, there's your problem.\n\nIf all ports are working, try this:\ngo to applications - utilities and open disk utility\nplug in your drive and see if it appears\n\nif it still doesn't appear, choose mount drive from the menus at the top while in disk utilityq
