i am going to run memtest today to make sure all of my memory is working. I spoke to the vendor that sold me the mobo/cpu and he said that i should get ddr400 instead of ddr333 like i had. only problem is now the 400MHz memory is showing up as 333MHz

Hello there. I am having an issue installing Windows MCE. Here we go. I have built a new PC and from what I can tell, it is completely compatible with Windows MCE. I just bought a three disk set off of NewEgg. Anyways, while I was waiting for the rest of my parts to come in, I attempted to install MCE on the PC I am using now which runs XP Pro. I put the first CD in, it gave me the screen "Detecting Hardware" and so on and so forth. I then realised that I did not have enough disk space to install it on my PC and I did not want to do an upgrade. So, cut to a few days later. I finished putting my computer together. It boots correctly and there is no errors with any of the hardware. I even have a HDD in there that I formatted with my XP Pro PC just in case. My problem is that I put the first CD, boot the computer up and the "Please wait while setup determines your hardware configuration..." comes up and then nothing. A black screen comes up and it just sits there. I took the CD and put it back in to my existing PC with XP pro and it works fine. I have no idea why it is doing this and there is nothing I can find online. *Update* just a quick update. I went and found my copy of XP pro and tried installing that first and when i boot the PC up with the install CD in my drive, it does the same exact thing. the system just says it is detecting my hardware and then stops. I have also tried a DVD drive and it does not work either. it is stopping at the same point. Both the DVD and CD drives work perfectly in other computers.
