I installed XP PRo on, it got to the same point and "seemed to hang" But I went
to lunch and came back, and found that it had made it past the hang up point and
went ahead and completed the installation. The problem is with specific
drivers, especially the correct video driver. But usually after a looong wait
time, it will install a default driver, and allow you to update the driver after
the installation completes.
Once that is done there is about 40 or so updates to install, and there is a
danger if getting an infection from Blaster/welchia during that process.
I recommend installing an updated A/V program before exposing the machine to the
internet for the updates. What I do now is to download all the updates on
another machine, burn them to CDROM and then apply them before connecting to the
internet.
