This can be indicative of a damaged or faulty CD. If it is a genuine Windows CD, check for scratches or other surface damage. If it is not a genuine CD then it is possible that not all the files that are needed are present on the disk. This is also likely if the CD is one that was supplied with another computer, as these usually only contain the files needed for that particular hardware configuration. However, this can also be indicative of a fault on the computer itself. If a hard drive is faulty in one particular place, this can present itself during the installation process as a failure to copy files. To eliminate this, try installing the CD on another computer. Finally there could be a fault with the optical drive itself. If this is the case, try a drive cleaner or try installing from an external optical device.

How do you connect a PC running Windows XP to a laptop running Linux?
This depends on how you want to "connect" them. If you install and configure Samba on the laptop, it can share files with Windows. If you are not interested in sharing files, but just want to control the laptop from within Windows, install an SSH server on the laptop, and connect to it from Windows using puTTY.
Can I use a windows XP disk that came with my dell laptop with my HP desktop computer?
No. The disk that came with the Dell laptop does not contain all the files that a full Windows XP installation disk comes with. Instead it will contain the files needed to install Windows XP on your Dell laptop. As Windows XP installs it will detect the hardware that your computer is constructed from (including the motherboard and processor) and install files that are specifically for that hardware. Your HP computer will have different hardware to the Dell, so the installation that is suitable for the Dell will not work properly on the HP.
If I download Windows 10 on my mac will all of my files get deleted?
You cannot just download and install Windows on your Mac. To install Windows on your mac you will have to partition your hard drive and then install Windows on that new partition.
