Am installing home edition and it goes through the initial run and then when it gets to "Stating Windows " it just sits there.    New hard drive and BIOS says it's there as master primary.Upgrade disk or full install disk!Full install diskSo let me get this right winxp installed......now it will not boot! pass the post setup! does the pc BEEP! more INFO info system ram etc.....Sry wasn't very clear. I am TRYING to install windows on a new comp. The only part of the instl the happens is where all of the initial stuff installs on the bottom of the screen. Then is says windows is starting and then stalls there. It won't go into the rest .   This is the first screen that you see when you START installing XPRecheck all the wiring/components to make sure!its has that all that winxp needs>ram etc>>hcl list.....

And a  how to install winxp is here>http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxphome/installxpcdnewhdd/index.htmKenr:

Try powering the computer off (do not press control + alt + del, just press and hold the power BUTTON).   Wait 10 seconds then power it on once more.
