Windows XP gets stuck during install
I have tried two different copys of the latest build. I am installing from a formatted drive, fat32. I run smartdrv. exe and then start the install. It will get through the first part and shutdown for the first time.
I have tried two different copys of the latest build. I am installing from a formatted drive, fat32. I run smartdrv.exe and then start the install. It will get through the first part and shutdown for the first time. When it comes back up, it copies a few more files and then hangs. It says in the lower left hand corner something about Setup is Starting Whistler. I have ran Win 9x, Win ME, Win NT and Win 2k on the computer in the past. Since it stops at the same stop while using two different copies, I am thinking it is a system issue, but I can install any other OS and it works fine. I have tried installing from the CD and by coping the files to the c: and installing from there. Can anyone help!?
Here is my system:
Abit BE6-2
P3-700@1008
320megs pc133 micron
Maxtor 20gig 7200rpm
Seagate 13gig 5400rpm
Creative Labs Geforce2 GTS

I installed it from within win2k and chose to install it to a different partition. I also used a NTFS formatted drive. My install got screwed up the first time too, but when I tried it agan it hang and so i just rebooted and it started over and passed thru. Maby not much help but i suggest using a NTFS formatted drive from the beginning.
