My halo pc stops installing after 86% This is what it says:

Halo setup encountered a disk error while writing to the file C:\ Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\maps\sounds.map. Make sure your hard disk is not full,and that the file in not in use.

Im not good with computers, what does this mean?

well... 1. either your hard drive is full, or 2. if you are Re-installing Halo PC, because it stopped working in the first place, there might be a Virus hiding inside the Sounds.map file.

How much space is left, and how much space does it hold total.

What do you mean the first time running it? The disk? Halo?

Does your disc have scratches?

Did you pirate it or download it? [and if so get the hell out]

if it's not, try the other cabnet files.
