Clean install of Windows XP "Hangs"

[Guest Thomi]

I started yesterday to do a clean install and with help from Ken and Gordon

obtained detailed instructions of the process.

 

I manage to get into the installation as far as Windows "installing Devices"

and it stops at about 65%. I've done this twice and waited an hour although

the screen has indicted "Setup will complete in approximantly:33 minutes" and

stayed there for some 40 minutes .

 

Am I just being impatient and shoud wait even longer. or should I remove

some of the hardware like the graphics card and install it later after the

Windows installation is complete?

 

Thanks
