SYMPTOMS
When you install Windows NT version 3.5 on a Gateway 2000 P5-60 (with hardware components on the PCI bus), the computer may stop responding (hang), or the following error message may appear when several files in the graphical portion of Setup run:

Unable to copy. The source may be corrupted.

Abort, Retry, Fail



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Verify that the computer is using the PCI chip set of either the Mercury S82434NX or Mercury II.
 * 2) Remove all PCI-based hardware components and try to install Windows NT version 3.5. If unsuccessful, remove the memory modules (SIMM) and replace them with standard 4 megabyte (MB) memory modules. This computer is originally shipped with a 16 MB memory module.
