Okay, so I'm going to install Halo PC and it goes fine until 81%. The it pops up saying:
"Halo Setup encoountered 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 is not in use."

I just reformatted my hard drive so I don't think the hard disk is full.

Anyone know what to do?

Have you run scandisc on your drive? Might want to do a thorough disc scan if it's coming up with write errors. Then again, the problem might be with the CD itself. Make sure it's free of dust and scratches.
