Installing XP Media Center

Having a hell of a time ;-(

I start installing with the OS disc, copies all the files, boots up and
stars the process of setup all over again and again....

Intel 2 Core Duo 2.4mhz
1 G ram
DVD Double Layer (SATA)

For two days now I've been hitting this brick wall. I'm just about to
give it up and pay someone to do this.

Can someone help? Greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Instead of letting the system reboot after the OS is installed, go to the
bios and change the boot sequence to hard disc as first boot. Normally, this
should happen automatically, but sometimes it fails...
