PLEASE I BEG YOU HELP! fixing my winxp mce laptop
I need some serious help with this laptop. I took a friends laptop that he messed up the os on bc he tried to do something to it. so being an ok computer guy i wanted to put windows 7 beta on it.

the windows 7 ran pretty good on his laptop but not perfect. after a couple months he decided he wanted to put winxp mce 2005 back on so he went on hp.com and tried to get a recovery disc to get it back.

he has a compaq presario v6000 (not sure on the EXACT model bc the laptop itself only says that) this may be the problem in the first place.

so the recovery disc came, he popped it in, and it did its stuff. then when it was creating the partition this came up:

inf file txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing status 14

can someone please help me get this back up and running?!

did we get the wrong recovery disc due to not knowing anything other than compaq presario v6000?

please help thank you.

You're CD\ROM isn't reading the CD properly. Try cleaning the CD and try again. If that doesn't work, try copying the CD, disk to disk using Nero or you're favorite burning software and try again.
