Re: Unexpected reset during installing Windows XP SP 2 English.

When I saw pretty much this same problem, the issue was a bad hard drive (multiple bad sectors - found by running chkdsk after a full long format). Although it installed after a full format, I had 5MB+ of bad sectors. And... it took *forever* to boot (presumably because most of the bad sectors were around the boot area). After replacing the HD, all was good again.

I am trying to install Windows XP SP 2 English and after I enter CD KEY, date & time, etc. and network configuration the system is reseting and staring installation again and again and again…

You can see it on this movie (Quick Time) http://hmotoryzacji.sisco.pl/winreset/restart.MOV

I tried to do this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891892 but there is no “Stop error message”.

I modified boot.ini by adding this - /sos /bootlog /debug and restarting installation, there you can find log files from Windows directory:
