I attempted to reformat my girlfriends computer with Window's XP Professional according to the information I collected from the internet. I was instructed to simply pop in the disk and it would run itself, and it did. I selected to completely re-install Windows and it started installing itself then the screen went black and it froze. I turned the computer off and back on and it gave me the message that the install was going to continue once I turned it back on...then it froze again. I would like to start again, but each time I reboot it continues to try to finish the install then freezes. How do I get it to stop installing and start over. Her computer has been down a week and I feel like a tool!
