XP Install Fails On Omnibook500

Have you already flattened 2000 or could you run an upgrade install?

I'm guessing there are problems with some of the hardware devices not being 100% XP compatible and you may need to disable somethings (in my case an onboard modem kept me from installing until it was disabled).

Are you tried install with an XP install CD with SP1 (or SP2) slipstreamed?

I went home last night and tried to do the install i still had windows 2000 on it so i tried to do an upgrade,before i did anything i disabled the onboard modem.  I then ran the install it copied all the files did the whole thing then the fist tome it hung at 34 minutes so i let it sit there for like 30 misn nothing happened didnt move nothing, the background was changing but the taskbar nor the timer changed, so i rebooted let it go in again then it went past the 34 minute marks and was liek apply start menu ect... it siad setup will be completed in 19 minutes then it blue screened.  It did this several times than when it came back up onte time it ran a chkl dsk found all these files that wernt associated with anything and truncated them.  Then it tells me as it restartrs the setup i get to the 34 minute mark and now it says that all these files are missing.  I've never seen this before and i know what i'm doing i do this stuff for a living and i'm going to college for it so this boggles me how i had once had it but now cant, Shoud i rip out the whole install format the hd and try to do a fresh 1? Thanks in advance
