hi. I was hoping someone here would know what this could be. I formated a hard drive ( working well) and tried to set up xp. It will get to the point where it says it needs to restart and then continue the installation. What happens is it restarts, and instead of continuing the installation, it tries to install again. Then you go to install it thinking that maybe this is the rest of what's involved, but then it says that it is not safe to install two operating systems on the same hard drive, meaning that the o.s. is at least installed to some extent, but I can't get it to go to the next step. I have no clue as to what it could be doing. Anyone have this problem/know what to do?

Thanks.
