I am now stuck at the installing devices - setup will complete in 34 minutes. Has been there for well over an hour or two.Have tried to interupt or cancel the setup but the system always goes back to this point. Some postings said you have to restart at least 3 additional times. I have tried that and the computer goes back to the setup screen everytime. Have tried the safemode, the last known good startup ect.and it always goes back to the setup screen. When I take out the cd and restart the computer the system starts the setup again - asks me to put the cd in - if I press cancel I get Fatal error with an option to see the setup log. I press ok and the log shows my interupts of the install and a message that states setup encountered an error while trying to set the system security. An exteded error has occured. I press ok and the it reboots, starts the setup and ask for the cd again. If I put the cd in it goes right back to the installing devices gets about 2/3 of the green bar and then sits at the 34 minutes.
I am running on Gateway computer.
Any help would be appreciated. If I have to stick with xp home that is fine - but would really like to be on xp pro.
Thanks!
