Freezes During Setup on New Installation

[Guest]

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

SP2 integrated Windows XP installation CD?
Does the controller need a special driver (F6)?

Thanks for the help... I called Microsoft, they were helpful but did not have
the answer. Next I called ECS; I have a saying... look where the technician
was! The motherboard has onboard video and was conflicting with my G-Force
Nvideo card. Remove it and XP installed. Dah!
