    E-machine C2881.
    This system had xp home. Was very slow, and had other small issues,
    so I decided to re-format and re-install my xp home.

    Computer now goes to the windows load screen, but that is as far as it gets.
    I have not changed anything in bios, or hardware.
    I have tried several times.

    Any ideas...
    Thanks

    Sounds like a corrupted install. Try again.

    Bad copy of Windows on the CD/DVD or a scratch on it and it isn't loading properly. Been there done that till I was almost bald.

    I suppose that could be possible, but I just installed it on my other PC
    and it did just fine.

    Thanks: Tmack

    Could be a hardware problem. Either check yourself, or have a technician look at it.

    try switching the DVD drive with the machine where the install worked fine You may have a bad DVD drive as Arie suggested.
