Have a brnad new computer running XP home; Intel Pentium 4 3.6GHz, 2x250GB
drives, 2GB RAM. Only loaded Norton Ghost, printer and scanner drivers.
When I run the upgrade CD it gets as far a copying files to the PC. After
re-starting the XP Pro splash screen appears for about 5 seconds, it then
reboots; this continues until I turn-off the machine. It then doesn't boot at
all. Can only recover by using Ghost.
 
Did you disable or uninstall your antivirus program?

Microsoft offers free installation support.
I suggest you give them a call.
