windows xp prol repair install hangs at 39 minutes

Hello
My windows got a error when I booted up BSoD and I did a repair install.
It just hangs at 39 minutes. The green boxes move, the information box changes text all the time.
I tried another XP CD and also 4 different CD drives with no luck.

I dunno whats wrog.

do you still have access to windows ?

if so you could take a look at the installation logs, setuplog.txt, setupact.log and setuperr.log in the windows folder. If you can't get into windows any more you still may be able to read these logs with a boot disc if you are using fat32

and when it starts goes to the setup, I hear the cd spinning and being read. then it stops

remove everything that is not necesaary to run the computer ie usb devices, extra ram modules and just try with literally, 1 hh, cd rom, cpur, 1 ram, motherboard, keyboard and mouse. make sure the cpu is not over clocked or anything liek that

Also, the discs that you are using are they proper discs or copies and if they are copies are they from the same
source. (also, unlikely, but just make sure virus checking is disabled in the bios)
