set-up

[bob]

When I install windows (with a new motherboard) it runs
through its inspecting system congiguration, then
proceeds to the blue screen and installs the drivers. It
gets stuck at the "setup is startin windows" part. I have
left the machine for over 20 minutes at this point.

I am trying to install xp home.

The new board is ASRock SiS 746FX, with DDR400. Athlon
850, with 40Gb HDD.

Please help.
