I want to install Windows XP Professional with SP2 on the following computer Dell Dimension E521 BIOS Version 1.1.11 AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2.0 GHz) Processor 1 GB of RAM Seagate Barracude 7200.9 Serial ATA 160 GB Hard Drive CDRW/DVD-ROM Combo Optical Drive Internal Floppy Disk Drive ATI Radeon X1300 Pro Video Card with 256 MB of memory The computer boots from the WinXP CD and starts to copy the files from the CD to the hard drive. But the installation always hangs (freezes, does not respond) at the point where the "Setup is Starting Windows" message. I found this article from microsoft regarding this issue. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310760 I know that the CD media is not the problem, so I looked through the microsoft article and there are four possible reasons listed. Reasons 2 and 3 do not apply to my situation. For reason 4, I tried each one of the Hardware Abstraction Layers on the CD and each time I still get hung at "Setup is Starting Windows". So I then looked toward possible reason number 1. The latest SATA driver for the E521 on Dell's website, file R164974, doesn't have the required txtsetup.oem file. So after looking for a while on the internet, I found file R133282, which does have the required txtsetup.oem. This file has 2 different drivers. I have used the F6 key to load each of these drivers by itself as well as loading both of the drivers. All of this is to no avail. I always get stuck at the same place. Does anyone out there have the answer to this problem so that I can install Windows XP Pro with SP2 on my Dell Dimension E521 desktop computer?
