While installing WindowsXP home on my new machine ( Intel
BOXD865perl MB - 2.4p4, MAXTOR 120gbt7200 133HD ) I waited
for about 20 minutes with no activity, Other that the
light on my front panel slightly flickering about every 5
seconds or so ( very dimly) and no noise that I could
hear, The percent of compleation index
showed " 0 percent compleat " I hit the
reset the system by the CTL+ALT and Delete methode because
nothing else would work. I could get to the CMOS screen
but Left alone to boot up all I get is "ERROR IN SETUP-"
I can't figure out what to do to resolve this. I can't
get it to reinstall.
 
Honestly, it sounds like an issue with the drive. Try resetting the BIOS to
factory defaults and doing the install again.
