'Session 3 Initialization Failed' - new WinXP Pro installation

G

Guest

I have been trying to load Windows XP Pro and keep getting "Session_3_Initialization_Failed". This is the same error this system was getting prior to it's old hard disk failing
This is a new installation on a 160Gb Maxtor
XP installation is loading from CD
There is no exteranious hardware installed. System consists of P6VEM2 Main Board, 256 Mb Memory, 160Gb Maxtor Drive, 48x CD ROM, 3.5" Floppy, Keyboard, Mouse

I have flashed the BIOS to support drives over 137Gb. This has had no effect

Any suggestions would be appreciated
