when starting up the PC and accessing the safe mode menu or booting from CD there should be a system restore Option Maybe.... or Boot from last known good configuration...
if you do this it will revert backto who knows when so some files may get lost... I hope there are not many important files because it could be a bitch to save |

You'll have to put in the XP CD. restart the installation but this time use a different option to repair.
I forgot how but get to the command prompt. navigate to c:\boot.ini. edit that file... you'll see the line that has the windows XP setup stuff in there. Remove it. Let me know how it goes. |

Get a Mac...
Seriously, though, on my laptop, whenever my HD was corrupted, all I had to do was put in the CD whenever I put my new HD in. I don't know if its the same deal, but I didn't do anything on mine, it did it all for me. Moooo |

If it's a Dell PC, try removing the modem and just let the installation try again (or restart the whole process). If it's hanging at device installation - around 34 minutes - it's getting screwed up by some device driver. If you remove the associated hardware, it'll go right past it. There's an OEM modem that Dell uses that does it every time, but it could be anything.
Basically, remove device, let it try and go. If it goes through, put the device back in after install and reinstall the driver for it manually. |

This is what the pro's use when everything breaks down. I think there are links on the site for some utilities too. Haven't used it in a while.
