okay thanks all of you for replying. it was the harddrive problem afterall, when i replaced it everything worked fine.

thanks for the fast reply friend ill try and get those files. another thing i should tell you about is that this machine had previously windows xp installed but at some point they stopped working with a BSOD i tried installing windows xp through windows even tried to install ubuntu but nothing worked, everytime i was getting errors, could it be the ram? the hard drive is okay because i took it out and backed up my files everything else seem to work fine

okay first of all big thanks for making this tools to help everyone. Now please hear my problem and if you got an idea of what i might be doing wrong please tell me. the machine im trying to install windows xp is a DELL Inspirion 6000 running centrino yes the machine is pretty old. okay i then i open WinSetupFromUSB 0.1 and put my windows source folder that is a geniue Windows XP SP2 and my Kingston 1GB usb stick everything is fine untill that part. the files get transfered on the usb and i get in my bios and select boot sequence from USB. it boots up the windows setup just fine the first setup procedure goes ok and then when the blue setup screen comes up it sais 'Setup will complete in approximately 39 minutes' and the status bar gets stuck at some point and everything freezes up then it goes on for 5-10 minutes like that and it just restarts, sometimes when i do this it goes down to 25 minutes and the same thing happens again and again could it be my usb stick? or what? thanks in advance. any help much appreciated
