Might it be your hardware? How manytimes did you reinstall the software?

ive used this XP disk to do a reinstall at least 5 times. but when i use the same xp disk to install it on another pc there is no problems

Then I&#39;m guessing its hardware. Not sure what it might be though... <_<

Can you tell us exactly what hardware you have in there?

XP does have a habit of waiting for non-existant IDE devices to answer it during bootup before deciding there&#39;s nothing there (this can be turned off) but the delay would be nothing like 5 minutes.
