Problems Installing XP (NEW PC)

[hankthetank]

I have a new PC which i had a previous problem with that i created a thread about but all those problems are cleared up now. So i put my WINXP cd into my cd-drive and the computer loads it up. I get to the screen of if i want to install a third party SCSI drive, then if i want to run an automated system recovery, then it goes on to loading up the files. But when it's loading Kernell Debugger DLL it always freezes and i have to restart the PC.

Also is there any way of turning off the computer without switching off the PSU? I press the power button but it doesnt do anything. I also know that everytime i switch it off from the PSU the Bios need to be resetted so im never able to save them.

Thanks.

hmm if it has a reset button press the power button and the reset button .

anyways ya problem could be a
scratched or dirty cd
dodgy cd driver
other hardware problems (not likely)
