Reinstalling WindowsXP to a blank hard drive

When the PC restarts, the installation is restarted as well.....yes. There
is no message with the 5 (.....), just that the computer hangs up. The disk
is not bad, or at least that I can tell, I've used it on three different
PC's since I've tried it on my computer.
 
In case anyone is interested you might like to know that, like Jason, I have
since used the same drive in a different computer on which to install
WindowsXP and am now using it in my son's 'problem' computer as a D drive
with no difficulties. I contacted the Microsoft Support line who, with
several long 'phone calls from India, tried very hard to get it working for
me, but after a week or so had to give up and close the case as
'unresolved'. They say they have added the details of the incompatibility to
their data base. I had, of course, assumed it was something my son and I
were doing that was wrong, but it turns out to be another of those amorphous
glitches that keep us on our toes! :-)

My thanks again to all who tried so hard to help me out of the hole.

Best wishes,

Chris Cooper
