I recently bought parts and built a new computer from scratch.

My System Information
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4600+
Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe
Mem: 2GB Corsair DDR2
HDD: Western Digital 400GB SATA
Video: Dual eVGA 512MB 7900GT KO
Sound: Soundblaster Audigy 4

When it came to installing Windows XP Pro, it started out fine... Made the partition, went along copying files then started saying there were many files it couldn't copy. Something like 20 files it could not copy from the CD. The installation will continue if I keep skipping them, and it gets to the point where you restart and it boots from the HD to finish the install however it goes a little ways here and then just hangs. Perpetually says there are 39 minutes remaining. I've tried everything I can think of, swapping the CD Drives spot on the IDE cable, running Memtest, cleaning the cd (It's a brand new cd too, just opened today). I don't know what to do... It's looking more and more like I just blew 2300$ because I can't get an OS on it.

If anyone can help me I would be super gracious. This has been like the worst day ever.
