Fatal Error

[Joel Hiers]

I installed XP on a clean drive, formatted and
everything. as soon as it gets done with the complete DOS
part of the setup and it gets to the better looking part
of it...it tells me there's a fatal error, and that
something couldn't be installed cuz the tag information's
not right...i don't want any websites that help with
troubleshooting xp, thank you in advance.

Sounds like you're attempting to install an OEM version
of Windows that will only install on a specific OEM PC.
Are you using a Windows XP CD that says "Microsoft Windows XP"?
