Well... You did not - contrary to belief - give much to go on there.
Generalities mainly.

Please - post with more specifics.

Such as, when you start installing Windows XP - HOW are you starting the
process? Using the Boot CD or Boot Floppies? Have you tried the OTHER
method?

What error do you get and at what point in the install? Have you tried
replacing the CD Drive with a different one and/or the cable from the CD
drive to the motherboard?

Have you ran the hard drive diagnostics from the hard drive manufacturer to
test your hardware?

Have you tried a different CD - have you tried this CD in another machine?
Is it scratched, have you cleaned it?

You said you tried different RAM, did you also change which slot(s) it was
in? Have you replaced the mainboard itself?

Without specific errors, it is almost impossible to troubleshoot accurately
in a remote fashion.
