I am attempting to do a clean install of xphome on my c
drive. I went through all the preliminaries after boot off
of the CD rom. The program went through everything through
Supply yur date and time settings. At that point the
screen said Setup will be complete in 22 minutes. The
lower left box said Installing Star menu items. That box
is still blank and the clock still says 22 minutes--for
the past 1 1/2 hours. Nothing is happening. Please tell me
how to proceed. Do I need to start over and hope, or....?
Thanks.
 
Try rebooting and see if the setup will continue. Do not press a key when
you see the message displayed or the XP C D will boot again. Just let it
pass to setup and see what happens.
 
Thank you. I tried that and it appeared to respond past
networks and appeared to stall again about half way
through completing setup. I'll try it again. Maybe I can
baby it along.

I've also seen this same issue with some IDE addon cards. Have had to pull
them until Windows was loaded :-)

Try shutting down and pulling out your network card, restart and then see
if setup will continue. When you get to the Desktop then Shutdown and
reinsert the network card and startup. XP might be having trouble with the
nic. That occasionally happens. If not then remove the network card and try
a reinstall.

On my third attempt to reboot I got a white screen with
this error message: Falal error: internal setup data
structures are corrupted (phase 0). I suspect the only
thing to do is start completely over unless you have
another suggestion. Thanks.

Rick,

You may wish to make sure that the only devices connected to your computer
are the mouse, keyboard, video cable from the monitor, and possibly your
speakers --- everything else should be disconnected (e.g. printer, scanner,
camera, network cable, phoneline etc.)

data structures are corruptted (phase 0)". I will start

Thank you. I ended up with a fatal error
message: "Internal Setup data structures are corrupted
(phase 0)." I will start over completely after running
defrag on the disk.
