Hello all, I tried to search for this in the forums but to no avail. What is happening is I get through the partition portion of the windows xp pro (SP2) install and then it reboots the pc automatically. Since my cd is still in the drive, it reboots the pc and goes back into the "Setup is inspecting hardware configuraiton" where it loads all the setup files and asks me to partition/format once again. Is there any configuration portion i can do to avoid it going back into the first step in the process? It should copy all setup files to the HD (after partioning), reboot , and then go to the xp installation phase but i am not sure why it is not doing so. Thanks for any help you can give!
