i just formatted my hd, and during this process everything went well, except when i was finished, and the computer was at the windows xp page witht the little blue bars scrolling across the page, it went no further. i evennoticed that my monitor went from a green light to a yellow light almost indicating as if the comp was off, but the comp was infact still powered on. Itried restarting it, and it still didn't work, i tried waiting on the page, and that was of no avail...can some one recommend something for me to do

that dosnt sound good have you tried to restart the process of reformating and reinstalling to see if this happens again ?

and btw is that a standard os disk your installing with or is it a modified one for unattended needs ?

Can you get into safe mode? Did you load the drivers yet?
