Help, Win XP installation!!!

Suggestions:

Verify that your hardware is listed on the <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/" target="_new">Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).</A>

Simplify the hardware configuration as much as possible by temporarily removing hardware not required by Setup (modems, sound cards, and network cards).

Make sure that you have the latest BIOS for the mainboard.

Try to load the operating system from DOS, or with Boot Disks.
