I am trying to reformat and reinstall windows xp on an old computer.It boots from the cd and gets as far as: to set up windows xp now, press enter. At this point the computer freezes and wont do anything. I am trying to reformat and reinstall because I thing the computer has a bug or a virus. Is there anything I can do at this point?
Did you disconnect all external peripherals except the monitor, keyboard and mouse, and be sure those are not USB, or wireless. Any internal USB card should also be removed.
