Okay, I borrowed my neighboors XP SP2 CD, and the CD just hangs at the "Starting Windows" when booted from CD. I think this computer just doesn't want SP2 on it.

Maybe KB310760 has a clue.

Thanks for the tip! My only questions is, why would a XP SP2 CD not load and a regular XP CD will? Does anyone know the difference when booted from CD-ROM? If I can get the SP2 CD to boot, I think it'll install just fine, but the fact that it won't even startup and the regular XP CD will makes me wonder what SP2 is trying to load.

I have never heard of a case like that. So far as I knonw, Setup is identical. I'd be suspicious of the discs involved.
