Sounds like you have a scratched or dirty MSTS CD. Try Cleaning your CD and see if that helps.

> Setup encountered disk error whilst writing hhp_deadman.wav You "UPGRADED" to WIN XP ? Dodgy doing that at the best of times ! The previous File System was no doubt FAT32 and is now what ? WIN XP prefers NTFS.Sherlock Holmes would have deducted that your problem is the INSTALL trying to WRITE to your Hard Drive, not READING from the MSTS CD.Un-Install MSTS and do a thorough CLEAN-UP of your Hard Drive to find any dodgy Sectors on it, DE-FRAG and for good measure run SCANDISK as well.Re-Install MSTS and all should be well. If not, get yourself a new Hard Drive !
