Re: Windows XP Installation hangs at the "Setup is starting windows" message

I think the computer does see the hard drive because, the hard drive
activity light does blink as files are presumably copies from the CD
to the hard drive. It's only when "Setup is starting windows" is
reached that the computer will not progress in the installation
process. I am not getting error messages. The computer just won't
progress further in the installation. I did find driver file R133282
which contains the txtsetup.oem file. I pressed F6 and loaded the 2
drivers in this file, but the installation still froze at "setup is
starting windows". This problem seems to have me stumped.

Not so. If XP did not recognize the Sata controller, it wouldn't even see

My guess is that XP's setup program doesn't recognize the SATA hard drive.
If that's the case you need an "F6 Driver Disk". This would normally come
from the maker of the SATA controller, which is probably the main chipset.
So you might find it at, for example, the Via or AMD(ATI) web site (not
sure what chipset that computer uses).
