        Yes, I have a real cd. during inst. I go to a screen with partition information. I deleted the partition and created a new one... since I had windows ME... prior... When I power down the pc. and restart... it goes back to restarting installation  >:(

           liz71 ........ Are you using a windows XP upgrade cd or or you using a full version Windows XP cd ?

          When you removed the old partition , did XP format the hard drive ?

          If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

            After XP installs and re-boots to finalise things don't hit the prompt to "boot from CD" the 2nd time...just let it run.
