HELP: Cannot install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and MSDE desktop engine

Hi, I just bought Dell PowerEdge 400SC with P4(Hyper Threading). I have Windows XP Professional edition with Service Pack 1 on the server. When I tried to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the installation process hangs on the step "configuration server....". I tried several times even let it run for a whole night but that dialog was still there. Even though the installation cannot finish, I can see the server process running from the task manager.

The following is the error log for the installation of SQL Server 2000. The error log for installation of MSDE is basically the same, what I should do?
