It seems that there was some kind of corruption on the hard drive - on attempting to install XP from Windows 98 I started to get a number of stop errors and fdisk wouldn't recognise the disk.
The guy at dell ran through something called debug (accessed through a Win98 Startup disk which solved the problem, and its been an easy ride since!
Here's a link:

Thanks for your help... Much appreciated.
Cheers,

this could also indicate bad cd or illegal burned cd or the cdrom or hard drive going too fast for the processor/mobo and needing to be set to lower transfer rate to install succesfully

Interestingly enough, I rebooted once more, just for fun (without the cd in the drive), and the insall contiued to a successfull finish...Very bizarre. My GUESS (and from what I gather from newspots) is that I had a poorly burned cdrom ala nero. I need to lay off warez.
