SP Pro OEM Install Problems

[Guest]

I have built a machine that I am attempting to install a new OEM XP pro (sp2)
on that stalls at the "Starting Windows" blue screen. I can load from the CD
using another computer and I can install 2000 on the PC in question. When I
load from another machine that uses the same chipset then install the CD in
to the desired machine I get to the Windows XP black screen, it fades and I
get no farther. When I load 2000 on to the desired machine everything works
okay. I have tried to use a XP pro preinstall CD but I get wierd IDE errors
that make no sense at all. I would like to get XP pro on this but it is
proving to be quite a challange,...any ideas?

I have tried multiple times to use third party drivers, which is basically
what that particular tech bulletin refers to, and have experienced no success
as of yet. I would appreciate any further ideas anyone may have.

I have found that if I disable the CPU cache in BIOS I can load Windows but
it runs very slow. Any ideas why this is or how I can get around the cache
issue?

Hey what's the deal? Why is my situation displayed as resolved when it
clearly isn't? Is this discussion group truly this bogus? I am still in
need of a some help, is there any real help available or just people that
point me to bulletin that have NOTHING to do with my problem?
