Installing Windows XP

Question

Please help if anybody has had this experience. I just recently received my new 8600 with WUXGA, 512mb, 60 gig, pentium m 1.7, windows xp home edition. The problem I'm having is that i just bought Windows xp pro and I wanted to do a fresh install. So I deleted all the partitions and had windows create a partition at 57232 from the 60 gig hard drive. Everything seems to run well until after it formats the c: drive to NTFS and start loading files, it gets stuck and wont load shell32.dll. I've tried to do this 3 times but to no avail. If anybody has any pointers how to get by this please respond. Thanks Popeyeboom

this may sound stupid but did you clean the cd surface before you started? dirty cds can sometimes cause odd problems!
