I have a compaq presario 3555 p3, 500 mhz, w/ 128 MB and
10 GB HD...pre-loaded with Win 98. I am trying to install
win XP Pro onto it (licensed copy). However, whenever it
gets to the installing win xp stage/installing devices,
the computer goes to black-screen and just hangs. I've
tried restarting the install to no avail. Any ideas?
 
did you run the checkupgradeonly option

it looks like a hardware conflict or hardware driver
conflict ... also this can happen if your system is
CLOCKED the set up process hammers the processor and
memory....
