NM it works


I am using anopther XP install disc w/SP1 and it gets to where it is "examining my disks amy take several minutes, etc., etc." and it freezes. I swithed out hard drives and still the same problem I went from serial ATA ----> ultra ATA and the same problem. I tried new ram and nothing. I am almost ready to throw the tower out the window.

maxtor 200gig ultra ata

It may be a dirty or scratched CD and have nothing to do with the computer.

As long as you have the product key for your version of XP, you can use any CD to install it.
