go into bios and make sure your dvd drive is set 1st in the boot order. on reboot u should get a message to press any key. hit any key when u see this message then continue with what it says. u dont need to reset bios.

The installation is working, but it keeps starting again from the beginning after the computer was rebooted. The message said the installation will continue after restart, but it just starts from the beginning again and again! Please advice how to fix it?

And did you take the CD out, so you are not just continuously reloading?

Thanks you guys!
I tried to let it rebooted by itself without press and key, then it freezes in WinXP Logo... I took out my AGP card, it goes further more but once I use my mouse. It shuts down or freezes. I think there is some conflict between WINXP and some of the hardwares! I will try to reinstall win98 and update all drivers and BIOS 1st, then install WinXP. Please advice is it any other solution? Thanks!
