Installing XP Home

[Doug]

I'm installing a fresh copy of XP Home SP1a, the
standard "Setup is inspecting your computer" begins and
all the files are read, but it stops at the message "Setup
is starting Windows" and does not continue. The BIOS
recognizes my disk and DVD and CDRW; I've run hard disk
diagnostics (looks clean); I've tried the CD in another PC
and the setup GUI appears OK. Any ideas?
