Hi, Chad.
Are you SURE it is hung? Sometimes this step takes what seems an
unreasonably long time. The computer is hurrying as fast as it can, but it
just takes a while. ;^}
Have you tried clean installing WinXP by booting from the WinXP CD-ROM?
Many users have reported that, even after successfully upgrading from Win9x,
they have been bothered by niggling inconsistencies and have ended up wiping
the drive and clean installing after all. You will, of course, have to
reinstall your applications. But WinXP Setup should recognize all your
hardware and install the proper drivers for it. One of these
hardware/driver conflicts may be what is causing your hangup problem. (The
upgrade version of the WinXP CD-ROM will ask for proof that you own a
product that qualifies for the upgrade price; when it asks, jut insert your
Win98 CD briefly. No need to have Win98 installed.)
WinXP deals with hardware much differently from MS-DOS/Win9x/ME, so drivers
that work fine with one Windows version almost certainly will not work with
the other.
