i am installing xp on a dual core machine with 2gb ram and it is taking 4 hours per install. i am also installing sql server 2005 and this is taking over 1 1/2 hours.

what could be the problem?

my typical install times on machines with half this spec are 35 mins for xp and 30 mins for sql!

"it is taking 4 hours per install"

what do you mean, "per install"?

How about listing the specs of this dual core machine. I'm guessing it's not the "3ghz/3gb", so is it the "hp dc7700"?

Another factor comes into play - What type of CD is it? HP Restoration CD? Genuine XP CD? Copied XP CD?

i have received a business order of 20 pc's and i am installing an original copy of windows xp pro

it is taking about 3 - 4 hours to do a fresh install from the xp pro disc (format the disk, load drivers, run through windows.

my other pc's were 2-3ghz processors with 1 gb ram and the installation takes about 35 mins.
