WIN XP wont install :(

Hi,

Just a few minutes ago I wiped HDD on old pc (win98se) and ran a xp cd in and formatted to NTFS all went well up to the point in the install that I got this message below.

What does this all mean and is there a way to fix it so I can cleanly install WIN XP

You'll need to check to see that all of the hardware is XP compatible. Apparently something isn't.

SurferDude2 and Arie ,

Thanks for the responces. It has to be a hardware issue and I am not sure how to go about nailing it down so I decided to relaod WIN98SE back on it and use it as a back up machine. In a month or so I am going to gutt the machine and drop a newer board and cpu in it with 2 512 sticks of ram, nothing to exspensive though as I am going to give the machine to one of my younger children to start learning on. Thanks again for the replys

Regards,
