You haven't stated what problems you had before so in order to avoid the many "I
tried that" replies, here is the MS article which covers the procedure:

How to install or upgrade to Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316941&Product=winxp

If you need advise regarding the new hard drive, post back with more info, e.g,
make, capacity & type, can your system handle its full capacity?, do you want
partitioning suggestions?, etc.

I have tried everything suggested to reinstall Retail XP, except replace hard
drive. I now have a brand new one. Are there any tips I should know about before
trying to install XP on this drive? Much appreciate you help. Thank you.
