Try entering second part by booting from the internal disk, rather than the USB one, what happens then?
Then I see blank black screen. No errors.
Yes, only one internal disk.
Yes, beta 8
Installed from USB hard drive, also tried from USB memory stick - same result.
Feeling is that after first part of installation, internal disk isn't bootable yet.

I found a problem with Driverpacks - some Windows installation files were missing.
So I managed to integrate Mass Storage Drivers into my installation and I did all these 5 steps you wrote and I still got same result after entering Second Part of installation:

Address 0x82a0: Value 0x80
2 (HEX:0x2)

2) How about SATA driver which is included in beta8? for me it works well - drives are detected.
5) already checked with SOME WAREZ Boot CD, HW works perfect.
3) already tried to use SATA->USB adapter instead of connecting installation drive directly to motherboards SATA port, didn't help.
Okay, I will try to integrate drivers myself DriverPacks.net way.

After I wrote that post, a lot has happened.
I found XP installation with already included SP3 and SATA drivers.
So I added it to SATA Hard drive (it is much faster than USB stick) using program version Beta 7. This hard drive is plugged in SATA1 slot, I am installing system on SATA0.
Than first part of installation went smooth, but after restart I got blank screen when system tried to boot from SATA0.
Then I did following - I chosed to boot from SATA1 and then selected Plop Boot manager, than I selected first hard drive, than I received "NTLDR is missing", than I tried to boot from SATA0 again and second part of installation started. It went smooth almost until the end. I selected all language stuff, computer name etc. Than after few minutes I saw blank screen again.
Both hard drives are fujitsu 120GB, 1.5GB/s.
Each time I begin installation, I delete old partition and create new one on drive C:
I will try to repeat everything using Beta 8.
Ehh, Beta 8 freezed after choosing second part of installation and it wrote:

| 1There is something wired going on - sometimes when in the beginning I am pressing F10, system is able to boot from SATA0 and continue installation until mouse arrow shows up. Then system restarts.

Hi!
I bought new Intel motherboard http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dn2800mt.html
I am trying to install XP from USB.
First problem is that drivers for AHCI doesn't work (I included them in XP installation with nLite).
Okay, I switched to IDE mode, then first part of installation goes fine, but when I have to choose second part, I receive following and system freezes:
Booting Second part of 2000/XP/2003 setup / Boot first internal hard disk
2 (HEX :0x2)
2 (HEX :0x2)
2 (HEX :0x2)
2 (HEX :0x2)
2 (HEX :0x2)
2 (HEX :0x2)
2 (HEX :0x2)EDIT: Booting directly from HDD fixed second problem.
Now I just neet to find right drivers or right method for including them. Any Ideas?
EDIT2: After second part was finished, Windows wasn't able to start anymore
Thanks!

I just found a problem - HDD was defective even though all HDD diagnostic tools were telling that it is okay. I just changed to another HDD and everything works, so thanks and sorry for disturbing.
