I spent some time researching this through google on Thursday. Most of the
suggestions referred to driver problems, but in my case that wasn't
appropriate as I was doing a clean install. After a lot of hardware
swapping and continuing failure,s I found something which may have worked,
or may be totally irrelevant. After resetting the bios to failsafe, which
didn'r work, I looked at settings more closely, and spotted that the bios
boot sector virus protection was set to on. Remembering that this had
caused probems when upgrading installing in the old days of dos , I turned
it off, and managed an install without any problems.
As far as I know I hadn't made any other changes at the same time, so offer
this as yet another cause of the problem, though whether it is relevant
here I don't know. I guess it's not impossible that xp tinkers with the
boot sector during installs and updates so triggering this.
