Hi everyone. Having a little trouble that I know many other people have had, and was wondering if someone could point me to a good resource for troubleshooting.

My problem is that I can't install XP on my machine. I have used the same disk to install on another machine, and everything works fine. I have tried pulling all peripherals, to now avail. I realize there are probably many reasons why I can't seem to install on my main computer (install just locks up at the first Starting XP screen, before it even asks if I want to install.) If I try to run setup from inside Windows 2000, it tells me "Upgrading from Windows 2000 is not supported - Please boot from CD and run setup" or something. (Which seems a little odd in and of itself).

Anyway, I'm sure others have encountered this before, so if there is a KB article or some other resource concerning installation issues, I'd be much obliged.

i had the same prob, my WinXP Pro 2600 installed flawlessly on my laptop, but hated my PC. I updated my bios, reset bios settings to default, and it installed fine.
