New Install

Hello,

I have bought and asasembled a new computer. It is a
custom made, but I am trying to install XP Home onto it.
I have looked and looked around everywhere for
instructions on how to install it, but i cant find
anything.

Anyway, I have set everything up and now I am trying to
install XP Home onto it. It load's it text-baised
installer, and It starts loading the drivers and
whatever, F.Y.I. the HD is blank. and it gets to the part
where it says, "Set-up is starting Windows," and it sits
for about 10 seconds, and then it restarts. What am I
doing wrong, and how Do I fix it???

Hello, Again

I haev already read this and I have checked all of this
and it still doesn't make any difference.
I am using an XP disk that I bought with my old computer
until the MB blew up.
Does that help?

If your old computer came with Windows XP preinstalled,
then you probably have a Restore CD that will only work
with the original computer it came with. It is probably
searching for a specific BIOS and if it is not the original
BIOS, it will not install. If that's the case, you'll need to
go out and purchase a conventional "Full Version" of Windows XP.
