How are you installing, clean install, upgrade from a previous OS?

The last 39 minutes of the installation is the time when the hardware is
detected and set up. Did you do your homework by running the Upgrade Advisor
making sure that the system components are compatible with XP, prior to
installing XP?

Here are some links that may help.

Hi,

Is this a clean install to a formatted drive? If so, you may want to check
that any BIOS level antivirus is disabled, and that all hardware detection
settings are correct (and especially jumpers). It may help to remove
unnecessary peripherals as well.
