Windows XP freezing during installation

[Moosiah90]

I'm getting to the point where I'm at a blue screen & it asks me to hit "R"
for recovery console, "enter" to continue for F3 to quit. As soon as I reach
this screen my computer freeezes. I tried it with my XP home disk & also an
XP pro disk from work to see if it was just my disk that didn't work and it
did the same thing. I read that I should perhaps disable APIC in the BIOS
menu but it was already disabled. I also disabled the USB manager, which
didn't help. I read that perhaps I should flash the BIOS but I don't have a
floppy drives so that's not an option. Lastly, I read that I should hit F5
when I get to the "press F6 to install raid controller drivers" part of the
initial install & select "other" but there are no other choices to choose
from when I do this. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Everything else on it is factory

Thanks!!!

well, it is likely that what
caused you to re-install
windows is the problem
you are still having, i.e.,
hardware failure.

you should go to the dell
homesite and look up faq's
on restoring your pc to
factory conditions.

also, you may want
to repost your issue
on the dell newsgroup
as well.
