We need to understand when setup is hanging.

XP Setup has these stages:

Text Mode - format hard drive, copy files

Setup Wizard - prompts for product key, admin pass, etc

Graphical Mode - detects network adapters, other hardware, etc

OOBE "Out Of Box Experience" - create user accounts, activate

My guess is it freezes after the setup wizard when detecting other hardware.
