When I have problems installing windows , it usually hangs
at a certain point, it's usually cause by faulty system memory.
I would remove one or your memory modules, try to install windows
again if it fails swap out the memory modules again. It's mostly
trial and error to pinpoint which of your modules is bad. If that
fails try putting the modules in a different slot (slot1/2/3)
(try different configurations). The odds's of all your memory
modules being bad are low. That's what I've found out to be
the main culprit of window's not installing.

 

I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.

Thanks

 

that did not help. could have anything to do with the fact that my xp might not be x64 bit?

thanks
