XP hangs during setup

I have an IBM thinkpad that came with win2000. I put XP pro on it. AOL started having problems and not letting me on the web. I installed AOL again and didnt help. I tried to install xppro again and it hung at the installing network phase with 31 minutes remaining. Nothing works and the only way to restart it is to take out the battery and replace. I can get into the BIOS setup but cannot escape the installation. It has hung 18 times and I'm very frustrated. Can anyone help me?
