Win XP Pro Wont Install Right!?!?!?!

[DestructoBro]

I had problems with my PC and had to re-install windows. I have a recovery disk that came with my ABS computer, and the recovery disk is made by Magnell.

When i try to go through the installation, I keep having to do the same thing over and over; choose to format the HD, pick a partition, user agreement, install windows, and so on. After going through that about ten times it seemed to finish and re-started my pc. but windows did not boot, i got some error saying it was not installed correctly, something about a boot disk, and so on.

What is up with windows? How can i get it to install?

first off we need more details of your install. For example are you using any SCSI or RAID devices/configurations. Also some system specs might help....ya never know. Is this a fresh Install or are you trying to "recover" a bad install? Is this only occuring if you use NTFS vs. FAT32? A WindowsXP installation starting from scratch on a 1GHz+ PC shouldn't take any longer than 45 minutes to an hour and a half...depending on the size of the hard drive thats being partitioned/formatted. Give us a little more info
