Yes I tried HDD diagnostic with HDTune..it found 2 bad blocks at the begin of HDD....maybe it's reason..... Yes I also tried to clean CMOS, but nothing was changed after that....

In beggining of this problem I thought like you but my opinion changed after I tried 3 different CD's and 2 CD-ROM's.. In all cases the disk was one type-- Win XP SP2...

Hi! I have a problem with installing win xp. My PC spec: MB: Asus P4C800 with 875p chipset CPU: Pentium P4 2.8 Ghz HDD: Samsung SP 1614N Problem:...I am trying to reinstall win xp but I can't do that. I boot from cd, then partion, and format my HDD that isn't in RAID and it has no sata interface, after format is file copying..then setup restart my pc and after restart setup doesn't starts but appears windows xp green loading bar which hangs up and nothing continues even if I wait for a long time...there is nothing for it but restart.. In BIOS i have made changes with onboard sata controller which is disabled....but problem still occurs.. In my opinion, there is no need to press F6 in setup begin to install a third party SCSI or raid drivers is it true? where is the problem??
