Ok ok ok ok.....

We used disk that came with new hard drive to partition and install it. Fine. When we went to install windows, it did the scan ...yada yada yada. We used a boot up disk for Win98SE, our OS. When it comes to "initializing sytem.....scanning registry, it hangs for a long time (doing that now). Is it normal to hang for so long? Is it because it's a 120GB hard drive being used on our sorry PCChips motherboard?

..or rather grrrrrrrrrrrr

Thanks!
