the same copy of windows xp pro corp works on 2 other computers so do u think its some kind of hardware conflict on my system? although i cant really understand that seen as i can get windows xp pro to install fine... just not the corp version !

if the installation is going to a black screen then try to swap out the video card in the system with a different manufature.

Good luck

remove the nic card and the sound card then try installing. I have seen many nic cards which would cause an install of XP or 2000 to do exactly what you are describing.

hey hows it going!  
I have had the same problem where the screen goes black.
I don\'t know what to tell you but i went ahead and bought a new hard drive and since have had no probs.

                                           good luck

I had that problem with Win XP Pro.

I had to remove the Raid card.  Mine was the LinkSys and I have since changed to SIIG without any more problems.

Good luck!
