I am trying to install a fresh copy of Windows XP professional and it is
getting hanged at:

'Setup will complete in 32 minutes'
'Installing Network'

phase.... Keyboard is working... the text shown on the window also keep
changing including the bottom right progress indicator...

But the installation progress bar is not moving and the setup is hanging
there itself... For the last 24 hours it is hanging there only....

I tried 3 times.... it is stopping at the same point...

What could be the problem...?

I saw this just last week. If this is onboard, disable it in the BIOS,
and install. If its a PCI card, remove it and install.
Re-enable/replace the NIC once you've completed the install. If this
doesn't help, remember that onboard firewire is counted as a NIC by
Windows XP.

Hi djcaseley,

Thanks for the info.
Disabling the onboard LAN card in BIOS done the trick for me...
