Windows xp setup keeps freezing

[Guest]

I got windows xp sp2, reformatted, partitioned, everything went well until it
got to setup is copying files: at the bottom of the screen it says copying:
driver.cab and it won't go any further. Can anyone help me i've re-started
the setup 5 times now and it stops in the same place every time.
HHHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeelllllllllppppppppppp.

Thier is no xp SP2 as an OS,SP2 is an add on to xp.Try installing the
microsoft
xp cd with or w/o SP2,select in BIOS to boot to cd if needed (1st boot device
priority,or similiar),once at xp cd boot screen,select install xp,delete
the partition,
create one,then xp formats and installs auto.If this is an upgrade
xp,you'll need
to briefly install an older windows OS cd for verification only-10 to 15 sec.

Thanks I know sp2 is an add on. I have the cd not up-grade, brand new.
Have done all that several times. I think it must be a hardware conflict cos
it just gets to the 1 place and stops it just hangs there no error messages
or anything to help. Think i'll have to take it to the shop fed up now but
don't like being beaten.
