Uprgading from 98 to XP Pro.

I.T.

When upgrading from 98 to XP the computer crashes during
"Upgrading Program and System Files" - at this point the
clock has reached 10mins to go. After resetting the setup
process begins at "Installing Software" - 43 mins. to go
and reaches the same point before crashing again.
Just before it crashes there are 2 clicking noises.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Also, physically disconnect all your peripheral hardware devices,
especially USB devices (not including your mouse, keyboard or
monitor). Uninstall any antivirus program, too!
