hi
Please can someone advise me what to do ?
I am re-installing windows xp service pack 2 from a cd - when copying files I am getting crtdll.dll is corrupt - and I cannot setup windows .
I have bought ubcd but how can i get this file from CD ????

Thankyou

Your CD that you are installing windows xp from is dirty...you will need to clean it. Nothing else will magically fix it...

Here is a link to a similar post aswell as 2 major options you have: viewtopic.php?t=2154

I am thinking of buying Windows XP service pack 2 brand new - and then re-install it on my ACER laptop 5100 - Does anyonw know how i can find out if it is 32 bit or 64 bit machine ,.....
also can anyone forsee any problems - I believe this is my best bet - rather than buy a new laptop ???

Would be easier and cheaper to try to clean the disk...first...and if it still doesnt work. You may also want to see if a friend has a retail version and borrow theirs and use your serial key provided with your windows (a sticker of authenticity has a serial key on it) located on the back or top of your system, and install windows that way.
