I am trying to reformat one of my hard drives, but the following happens:
After I turn on my computer, I click any key as the screen says. The blue setup screen comes up, and it loads some of the files require for the boot, but in the middle it says: Usbohci.sys corrupted. Press and key to continue. The whole process fails after that, and I can't proceed with the reformatting. I still have xp installed on my computer (And I'm free to do some things), but a lot of errors and poor performance have been showing up lately. Starting from scratch is the best idea. I've already gathered all the files I need from my main drive.
The name of the corrupted file tells me it might have something to do with my modem- I recently switched from ethernet to a wirless usb card. I'm considering uninstalling the wireless driver (And my webcam driver [Which is my second usb slot]) as a solution.
I have a Dell Dimension 4100, Pentium 3 processor, 256 mb ram, with a few non-proprietary parts from a compaq.

The same thing has happened to me (different files tho) and the solution has been that the XP disc was dirty. Wash it gently with dishsoap and try again.

Boot with the windows xp cd and go to recovery mode then copy the file from cd to your hard disk.
