I am trying to install windows xp pro sp3 on a hard drive that had xp home corrupted on it.I thought I would just put the disc in boot from disk wipe the hard drive and so on ,but I now get an error message.

An unexpected error(1896231104)occured at line1773 in d:\base\boot\setup\arcdisp.c.
press any key to continue.

I have also tried using my xp home disc and same message appears is this an harddrive error or something else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
