Hello,

I recently stumbled upon my old HP Mini 100 (which had Windows XP) but none of the icons would show up. I thought in order to fix this, I would reinstall Windows XP by using the installation CD of Windows XP. So, the setup has mostly worked until the setup had about 5 minutes left, then which the computer screen switched to a black Windows XP screen saying please wait. It has been stuck on this screen for about 3 hours now.

Any tips/suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Mrweatha
