Problem with XP Instalattion

[Luis Ramos]

Hi,

I've two versions of windows: one Portugues, that came with
the computer and other one, English wich i get from the
university.

I'had the portuguese one installed and everything was
alrigth. But now i want to install the english one, and i'm
having problems with it...

I started the computer with the cd-rom of windows xp, and
then boot from it. I got the message to choose between XP
Home or XP Professional. I choosed Professional, and first
i got the error of "file missing.error code 7,setup cannot
coninute" After searching the net, i find that this could
be avoided by pressing F6 during this initialization, to
avoid the APIC error.

Then, i rebooted the pc to try to use solv this problem,
but another one appeared :s After the message: "Setup is
inspecting your hardware configuration... The computer
reboots...

Anyone can help me on this?

A second installation of Windows XP must be installed on
an empty drive or partition.
