From my experience, this kind of problem is caused by failing hard drives or by not configuring the IDE HD the right way . Is hard drive recognized by BIOS?

i have only three choice on sata mode ( raid , native and disable) tried them all and no luck .... also the only time i succeed install windows was via IDE DVD only

speedman2202 :

Are you using the same Windows XP source for both USB and DVD? Maybe the OS itself is to blame. The Windows XP CD may be scratched or the XP source may be dameged.

i tried also use HDD sata and DVD sata only... same message .... i got rememeber that i am already upgrade my Bios version to the latest one twice .... and the only one already succeed in installing windows was in old BIOS version.... Should i downgrade????

thx

I'd recommend you to check your Windows XP installer CD first. Try to use it on another PC. If the problem persists, then your guess about BIOS may be right.
