Im installing windows xp pro on a friends laptop. It an ibm thinkpad t30. I wiped the system and install xp. When it reboots and goes to that blue screen with the bullets and says installing windows is where it hangs. It the third bullet, where its labeled installing windows and the time monitor says 39 minutes. I let it run overnight and its at the same place. Also on the bottom right corner where those green blocks they still keep going like in a line where one lights up at a time so i know the system isnt locking up. I also low level formatted thinking something was up and tested the hard drive and it test's fine too. Any ideas im lost, thanks guys for any input. Oh also it is a xp pro sp2 full version disc and legit just for clarity
