Hi,

I was trying to install OEM version of Windows XP from a USB device, and I’m getting some errors, and I’m unable to use it.
 
The following files are not able to be copied from the device. Kodad_dc.icm, oembios.bin, qutil.dll. While trying to start the windows, error is shown that the file hal.dll is missing. I have tried to install using various USB drives, but getting the same error. Please tell me what could be done to resolve this error?
 
Thank you.

  • Create partition primary
