is this a new clean install or do you have to use a recover cd
is it possible that the hard drive is too full ? |

do you have any pcmia cards in the lap top if so remove them all so enter the laptop bios and set it to defult setings and see if instal continues.
another thing to try is clean the windows cd and the cd drive as well
