Xp install hangs when copying files.

[Pengy]

I was wondering if anyone can help. I've built a new system:
P4 2.8
ASUS P4PE-X/TE motherboard
512md ram
MSI CD-R/RW DRIVE
MSI DVD-ROM DRIVE
SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200 80GB HD
SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800PRO ATLANTIS VIDEO CARD

I'm using the xp home upgrade cd, it works fine unitl it starts copying files, then it hangs, always in different places.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you still have your old os disc? You should do a clean install of xp and not an upgrade. Upgrades are mostly always problematic if not the install you will get problems later on.

Aslong as you have your old OS disc you can do a full install.

i've got my old win 95 disc, my 98 came bundled on a cd. Would i be better off getting the full version then?
