Windows XP SP2 Install Stalled

[Guest Wagsthedog]

During installation.

How do I get it back to a state where I can start the install over again?

Thanks in advance.

If you have the DVD/CD inserted and it is bootable it should always restart

asking you if you want to boot from the CD/DVD.

Check control Panel, Add Remove Programs and un-install service pack 2 if it

appears in the list.

At what exact point does it stall? The minute on the progress bar is what

is significant.

 

For example, see:

It hangs when it gets to "installing cabinets".

Please provide details about your computer. Was service pack 2 ever

installed on this computer? There is a known issue that requires updating

the BIOS but you have not given the system specs so check the

troubleshooting section at
