|  | Troubleshooting Failed Installations
The following table lists common setup errors and possible solutions.
|  | Problem |  | Solution |  |
|  | Compact disc errors |  | Use a different Windows XP Professional compact disc. To request a replacement CD, contact Microsoft or your vendor. |  |
|  | Nonsupported CD-ROM drive |  | Replace the CD-ROM drive with one that is supported. Try another method of installing Windows XP Professional, such as installing over the network, and then adding the CD?ROM driver. |  |
|  | Insufficient disk space |  | Use the Setup program to create a partition that uses existing free space on the hard disk. You can also delete and create partitions as necessary to create a partition that is large enough for installation. |  |
|  | Failure of dependency service to start |  | In the Windows XP Professional Setup Wizard, return to the Network Settings page and verify that you installed the correct protocol and network adapter. Verify that the network adapter has the proper configuration settings, such as transceiver type, and that the local computer name is unique on the network. |  |
|  | Inability to connect to the domain controller |  | Verify that the domain name is correct and the IP address is correct. Verify that the server running the DNS Server service and the domain controller are both online. If you cannot locate a domain controller, join a workgroup, and then join the domain after installation. Verify that the network adapter and protocol settings are set correctly. If you are reinstalling Windows XP Professional and using the same computer name, delete and then recreate the computer account. |  |
|  | Failure of Windows XP Professional toinstall or start |  | Verify that Windows XP Professional is detecting all of the hardware and that all of the hardware is listed on the HCL. |  |
