check the compatable list to see if there is anything on your system that may cause any problem.

Install the OS with the bare minimum of hardware. Video, RAM, Hard Drive, Floopy, and CD-ROM. Assuming you got a CPU installed.

If that doesn't solve anything. Perhaps you can try another CD, or even put in a new stick of RAM and see if it was a RAM issue that wouldn't let you install XP.

I had similar problem when installing xp. Solved by setting mobo to safe values.
