Setup Freezes during New Installation

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

I had a motherboard failure, so I decide to build a new box using an ECS
motherboard and AMD Athlon 64 3000. When I boot up, BIOS reconizes all IDE
drives (two hard drives and two CD drives). Windows XP Home Edition will
spin up on the CD and load all hardware support files. After that, the setup
should start, it says it is starting but it just sits there doing nothing.
All IDE cables have been replaced, IDE jumpers on drives set for
master/slave. I have even gone so far and formatted the hard drives with
IOIO Drivescrub on this same box with no problems. I have never seen
anything like this... Anyone have any ideas since it certain appears not to
be a hardware issue. Thanks, Joe
