i am writing this on behalf of a friend because the
following problem has screwed his computer completely.

he had installed xp home (U.K. edition) successfully,
until an unknown problem developed that led him to
uninstall xp.

when he tries to reinstall xp home he gets no further than
the setup screen that says "19 mins of install left". he
can't get a desktop and using a system restore to return
the computer to factory settings isn't an option as he has
nothing backed-up.

i only have this limited information and any help you
could give would be much appreciated by both of us.

with regards,

graeme.

Graeme if he has uninstalled XP then he can't do a system restore. As he has
also tried to reinstall XP and has 19 minutes left before he gets problems
he has lost all his files anyway.
The only real solution is to reformat the drive and reinstall again. Take a
look at my web site www.freelanceit.glowinternet.com Click the Win XP Faq
button and take a look at question 7
Incidentally how did he go about uninstalling it? Is this an upgrade from a
previous version of Windows or a clean install?
