have u got your hard disc on a raid controller? If so you need the controller driver from the supplied floppy. If it isn't even getting to this part have u (if raid present) set up the array? or autodetected the hard disc in the bios?

PC Spec please

You could also try disabling power management.

If the cd is scratched, but it only has a few scratches running round (instead of around the surface), only the boot systems files may have been corrupted. If so, you can try to make Win XP boot disks to be able to start the setup program. To do so, follow this link for home: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=33290 , and this one for professional: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=33291 .
