Windows hangs on load screen after install! X.x

[Guest]

I just got my new Mobo and Chip, (Intel D865PERL w/ Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz,
800 Mghz FSB).

My Copy of windows is the newer version, with integrated SP2.

After I insert the install CD, format, copy install files to HDD, blah blah
blah, the computer restars. After I restart It gets to the Windows XP loading
screen, the scroll bar passes once, then starts a second time, gets to about
40% and stops, and hangs.. and hangs... and hangs..... and I have a
sandwich.... and hangs.... you get the point.

I did a little research, and I found out that the cause may be my SATA
drivers, however I have had them disabled(no luck), enabled and loaded the
drivers w/ F6 before install(no luck), enabled and no drivers(no luck).

Hit me back here, @ (e-mail address removed), or @ (e-mail address removed)

I want to go buy a baseball bat. Anyone give me a hand? Thanks in advance.
