I am trying to format a hard drive on an old compaq. It was set up with windows xp before and I wanted to completly erase the hard drive with a OS disc wich I have done many times before with out problems. This time I get this error: SXS.DLL:Syntax Error in manifest or policy file.D:\I386\asms\10\MSFT\WINDOWS\GDIPlusmar.on line 4. This is when I try to do it from non partitioned space and or NEW Fresh space. Any advice will help. I have tried 2 windows discs with sp1 and sp2
 
Is this a legitimate copy of Windows XP? ;)

Anyways, make sure that the BIOS shadowings aren't on. I had xp discs misread at certain points because of the bios shadowing options and video shadowing. Also make sure there's nothing wrong w/ the ram.
