My wifes Dell Diminsion C521 started acting up so I decided to erase the HD and reinstall everything. When I try to reinstall XP, it reformatted ok then began to reinstall windows. As it installs, it tells you how many minutes until completion. It gets to 29 minutes left and then just freezes at that point. How can I get it to keep with the installation and not stop at that point?
I have also had problems at times installing XP. Sometimes had to do it 2 or 3 times before it installed. http://www.wikihow.com/Reinstall-Windows-XP
Not a 29 minute problem, but may be relevant. http://techtracer.com/2007/03/12/xp-installation-the-34-minute-hiccup/
