While trying to install Windows XP Pro. After formatting
hard drive and copying files to folder, the computer
restarts and goes back to initial start up. This has
been a continuos loop and I am beside myself. Why won't
the install continue?
 
From just that information, try popping the CD out when
it goes to restart. What happens then?
 
Did you select boot to CD on the second request? If you do this, it just
starts the whole install process over. I went through several cycles of this
my first time. The way I finally learned was, I didn't "press any key" in
time to boot from CD because I was preoccupied with a cup of coffee.
