I boot up from the CD , it formats fine, then it copies setup files and the computer restarts, after it restarts It won't continue installing windows but it starts over from the start.....over and over....plz help
When it restarts are you hitting the key to boot to the cd. If you are, don't do that, you only hit it the first time, after that just let it go. That's the only reason I can think that it would do it over an over.

My understanding is after the first round of copying files, it doesn't need the disc afterwards. Try taking it out after the first part of setup and see if it finishes installing at that point.

It sounds like your hard drive is dead, as stated in your other thread. Run the hard drive manufacturers diagnostic software to check it out, it's probably going to need to be replaced.
