Of course shortly after I posted this I found the problem (Whose Law
would that be?). It was the Card reader, once I disconnected that, XP
install fine. Once XP was installed and patched, I reconnected the
card reader and all is working fine.

Thanks for posting your solution. Glad you resolved it! This is the
second post I have seen where an OS install failed due to a card
reader. I have seen several others that have failed due to USB
peripherals that have been attached at the time of install.

Nice detective work!
