Update -
Ok I finnaly managed to install Win XP, after hours of installing, formatting, deleting partitions, removing pci cards, disabling and asking for help from the pro's.
For some stupid reason unknown to me the answer was in the bios setting. In the "Advanced Chipset Features" I selected the "AGP & P2P Bridge Control" and changed the AGP Mode from 4X to 2X, saved setting and rebooted. XP installed with no probs at all, why the decrease in AGP Mode would affect the installation I have no clue. After it was installed I reset the bios AGP Mode back to 4X - Everything works like a dream now...
Well except that I cant setup an internet connection, when using the interenet connection wizard, I go through all the steps and get set up connection using my own details, I press next and instead of it being "Dial-Up" it's automatically selected "Connect using a BroadBand Connection", the other two selections have been greyed out and are unable to select them.
So now the prob is how do I setup a Dialup connection, my modem is a U.S Robotics 56K Faxmodem external, all drivers have been installed for it and its recognised in the system properties manager.
Any ideas??
Thanks
