I purchased a RX480 Neo2 motherboard and AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.80GHz / 128KB Cache / 1000MHz FSB / Hyper-Transport / Winchester Core / Socket 939 / OEM / Processor. I have a new 130gig hard drive. The system is a bare bones kit. The problem: I set up the system and all is well. When I try to install Windows XP professional, it checks hardware fine, loads the setup files fine, starts windows setup fine, starts loading files and stops at 41% load (file luna.mst) every time. Thought the install copy could be scratched or something. Got a another new copy or Windows XP professional and the same thing in the same place happened. I thought maybe the hard dirve is bad even though its new. Used another hard drive and the same thing happened on the install. Any ideas, suggestions why the install stops?

Try hitting Skip when you get to >(file luna.mst)

XP usually can repair itself later.
