are you taking the new installation path or the upgrade path?

maybe you should try to use the check the system compatibility tab when the cd runs in autoplay.

upgrade install will just end up pissing you off in the end, a clean install is much better.

1. You should have your CD Boot BIOS option enabled for the propely Windows XP CD Booting
2. Try to have all your USB Devices and printers disconnected before and during instalation
3. Boot from your WinXP CD
4. From there you should create a new partition (only if your hd is new) and format your hd
5. Then check everything that you are going to install.
6. Then everything should be fine for you:innocent:"Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction"
