Do you by any chance have a Dell machine? This seems to be a common problem with them, especially with the MegaRAID controller.
This also seems to be a common problem where your RAM is corrupted or has become damaged, or where your CPU settings need to be changed in the BIOS. You said that you don't know much about computers. As fixing this error is likely to involve taking your PC to bits, or editing the BIOS (the basic system that makes the hardware work), I would strongly suggest taking your PC to your local repair shop and getting them to have a look at it. |

Once I was installing an XP in a pc I got that kind of error and I thought it was the installler becuase it says cannot open. But the real problem was with the RAM. Everytime I tried to re-install the same file is loaded into the same portion of the RAM which is damage so it always display the same error message.
In your case try using another RAM of you have one and try also cheking your HD becuase maybe it has bad sector or something. XP installers do not directly install files from CD but copy it first to HD before actualy installing system files. Maybe the file that was reported cannot be open is written to a portion of the disk which can not be access becuase of some defect. But I'm sure it has nothing to do with the compatiblity of your machine and XP. The problem has to be in the installer, RAM or HD. Good luck |

I was going insane until I flashed the BIOS with the lastest version. This then gave me the option to alter the VDIMM voltage to the memory modules. I've got Corsair XMS memory which will run upto 2.1V(as stated by Corsair). When I changed VDIMM in BIOS from AUTO to 2.1V, my BSODs and NTKRNLMP/Error 7/4 ceased and I have now installed XP. Hope that helps. |

Probably you have a hardware problem so you have to check the memory, cd or dvd devices or any device that you pluged to the mainboard. Sorry my English. -reply by leito from Argentina |

Sounds like a RAM or BIOS related problem - If you're not confident with taking your computer to pieces, and fixing it yourself, best get it repaired by a PC repair shop.
