After format harddisk, couldn't turn the page to install XP

Hi OP,

After you have done the formatting for the partition, and the computer
restarts, DO NOT "press any key to boot from CD", just let the computer
continue the boot process........it will restart a few times during setup,
so just let it boot "normally", don't have it boot from the CD.

You're very welcome :-)

Let me know how you fare with the install once you've had it chance to give
it a try.
