During WinXP Pro installation after inserting setup disk
# 6 (last disk) the installation does'nt go forward.
Thinking that it might be a problem with a disk I created
another setup disk but the result is the same. The
installation is done on a PIV 2.4GHZ 512Mb machine
 
With such a new computer, you should be able to boot to CDROM.
Since the Windows XP CD is bootable, install directly from the CD
instead.

Disconnect all peripherals (camera, printer, scanner, etc)
Go to BIOS and set CDROM as boot device before hard drive.
Insert Windows XP CD and reboot.
At "Press any key to boot to CDROM" quickly press a key and follow the
prompts for a Clean installation:

Delete all partitions in step 5 if you desire to erase all data on the
hard drive.
Partitioning and formatting will be done automatically.
All data will be destroyed, back-up important data first.

After you are finished, you will need to load the appropriate drivers.

If your computer was shipped with Windows XP, these procedures may or
may not apply.
Check your manual or contact the computer manufacturer for more
details.
