Default Install hangs at EULA

I can page down, press F8 until my fingers bleed but it just won't install.

Are there any resources to help id the reason why XP won't install?

Will XP install on master of the first IDE controller only? My HDD shows up
as the master on controller 1. (OK I know 1 comes after 0)

Thanks for your replies

Default Re: Install hangs at EULA

Are you saying that you can't accept the EULA? That you can't proceed
beyond that screen? If your keyboard has a Function Key Lock make sure
that it is locked, on some keyboards you have to lock the Function Key
before the Windows setup program begins to boot.

If that isn't your problem then please explain what exactly is happening
when you reach the stage where the installation balks.
