Then it goes on saying restart your computer if it does it again check for viruses. Remove any newly installed hard drives. Then it says check to make sure hard drive is properly configured and terminated and check hard drive for corruption then restart computer. Someone please tell me how to get passed this so i can install windows xp. </p>
