Aecio

I order the hotfixes by number, not by date. I just click over "hotfix" tab; for example: kb88123 kb88124 kb89123 kb90123 In this way it worked. But I didnt insert IE7 or any other addon. Only hotfixes.

Now it worked: i removed IE7 from de "hotfixes" list. And what happened? WinXP instalation program didnt go in a loop. I think that IE7 is the problem...

i have just the same problem. I format the HD, winxp copies the instalation files to the HD and reboots. Now it starts up from the HD (to begin winXP instalation interface), but it shows me the message "parameter error" and then reboots. When it loads winxp again, i see the message "the instalation program is restarting the PC...". That's where the process gets stuck (goes in a loop, infinitely) . I instaled hotfixes, IE7, 2 drivers, removed some componets and setted some optimizations. but I dont know what is the problem...
