Windows XP64 Trial version does not even install

It boots up with the CD but when it hangs at the very first Inspecting
hardware and does not do anything. This is for a totally new PC which we
intend to test this OS to see its speed and functionality before we decide if
XP 64 would be a viable solution to our needs for slightly over 80 PCs later
on for a call center. Please advise. Bootup priority has been setup to start
from DVD/CD Reader. Tried everything from Boot up to Regular ATA 133 drive
still hangs at Boot Up time [inpspecting Hardware]

Hardware:
Intel Dual Core 930s
Memory: 2GB
Drives: 300GB Maxtor SATA
Boot Drive: Raptors
