Xp won't intall

[Guest]

I have a system I have built. I have an Intel extreme MoB and dual core 2.4.
I am using a seagate 400gb/7200.10 IDE hard drive and two cdrom drives (one
is a slave, the other is a SATA) Windows Xp begins as normal, formats the
drive and goes into the install untill it reboots after blue screen. It then
starts over again instead of continuing with the rest of the install. I am
stumped as to the cause.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Make sure you are doing the procedure correctly (i.e. creating partition(s)
and set the one you will install the OS on as Master/active partition and
nothing loose there) Disconnect any extra hardware just start with Mouse,
Keyboard and Monitor:
