Hey all,

I'm installing XP onto one of my machines using a USB boot device and it's giving the error message;

'An error occured copying file usetup.exe to C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\l386\system32\smss.exe.

Access is denied'

I've tried to completely seperate installs of XP and it gives the message. If i skip the file, it won't actually install the OS once the computer has re-booted. Anyone know what i can do to sort this?

Btw, the PC currently has W2K on it, but it's a moderately new machine.

Cheers.
