Hey guys, I have done everything that I know to do. I built a new system and loaded Win 2KPro with no problems. Every time I have tried to upgrade to WIN XP Pro the system hangs on the XP LOGO. I have tried reformatting, multiple drives, single drives. I have reformatted and done clean instlalls, but that doesnt get me past the XP LOGO screen. Does anyone have a suggestion other than to keep 2K PRO?

maybe you got screwed up ram? or maybe your xp cd is screwed up? ive had similar problems due to a shitty cd rom.

I think that I have ruled out the cd. I have tried XP Home and Pro. Both are new. You may be correct on the RAM. It is new, but that doesnt mean that it isnt bad. I used the memory test that XP uses and didnt show any errors. Maybe I should try the install with one stick and see what happens.
