Windows XP Setup

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I just recently reinstalled Windows Xp due to a previous problem...

"The other day I ran into a bit of a problem. First of all I got a
message which stated that my "D" or storage drive needed to be
reformatted so I did so. Now whenever I start windows it either just
keeps loading without actually logging in to wondows or else it shows
this message. "Windows did not start successfully due to a recent
software or hardware change"...then gives the option to start windows
with the "Last known good configuration or else to start windows
anyway". Yet when I choose one or the other it just goes to the
"Windows Xp" loading screen and then just keeps "loading" until it
restarts and doesn't run Windows Xp. IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVICE OR WAYS
IN WHICH I CAN FIX THIS PLEASE WRITE ME. I have my windows Xp disk but
it won't even load to let me repair or reinstall it all to my computer
or at least I don't know how to manually."

Except now it says that Windows Xp setup is complete and that it'll
finish the setup after restarting but then when it restarts my computer
no further setup begins or is even available to enter as far as I know.
How do I finish setting Windows up? Do I need to change anything else
with my harddrive or switch things around in BIOS? Hopefully someone
will help me soon.
