How far along does the comp get into the install?

[MercedeSC32/eSCalade]

once it gets right into the install of windows....

[spanky]

does it stop when its up too detecting hardware?

if so it could be a piece of hardware is faulty or there's a conflict..

im assuming your trying to load windows xp?

[MercedeSC32/eSCalade]
