XP Install Problems

When I am installing Windows XP, I am getting errors when it is copying files to the hard drive. It says it was unable to copy a file, and gives me the option to retry, skip file, or quit setup. When I retry it works, but I have to do this multiple times during the installation process.

This is the second time this has happeed to me. The only thing these two instances have in common are the RAM. (I decided to upgrade the other one, and thus took the old RAM from that pc and put it in this one)

Any ideas would be appreciated, thank you.

I answered my own question.... I found a couple other sticks of RAM and swapped them out. All works well now. Thanks to anyone who would have replied.
