Hello all:

I have recently purchased a new computer case, and have
migrated my current system to the new case. As I am
installing Windows XP Home Edition, it is stopping at the
message - "Setup is Starting Windows". This message
comes up after first booting to the Windows XP CD, and
then continues to load files before the install begins.
I have tried using the bear minimum I could to get the
install to work - a video card, a cd drive, a floppy
drive and a single hard drive. Same problem. I thought
it may have been the memory as well, so, I decided to
purchase new memory for my machine. Same problems. If
anybody has any idea of how to get my Windows XP Home
edition to load properly please let me know. Thank you
for your time.
