As to the install issue, that looks like a file copy errror I've seen. Did you try cleaning the cd/dvd lens and duplicating that XP CD?
Also, what is this "UPGRADE" you speak of?

I have an asus eee pc and i tried upgrading my laptop to windows xp professional and during the installation there were 2 errors saying that if i continue windows might now work properly and after the installation when my laptop rebooted it said setup is being restarted........ and then it brings me to a screen saying
C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\presetup.cmd - FILE NOT FOUND !
C:\WINDOWS.0\system32\setupORG.exe - FILE NOT FOUND !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
1."Presetup.cmd not exist in the i386 folder on UXPCD
"setuporg.exe"not exist in the 1386 folder on uxpcd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
2.Check your "txtsetup.sif" in the i386 folder on UXPCD
---Txtsetup.sif:----------------------...
[SOURCEDISKFILES]
setuporg.exe = 1 ,,,,,,,2,0,0 ; must exist
presetup.cmd = 1,,,,,,2,0,0; must exist
