Have to ask. Where is the previous hard drive now? If still installed, is
it the first hard drive or only hard drive for booting?

The new hard drive formatted just fine. All the OS files
were copied to the HD. It "initialized" windows xp, then
I got a message saying that my computer will reboot,
and that setup would continue after that.
No, setup does not continue. It goes back to the
beginning of the process all over again, starting
with it wanting to format the HD.
Bios is set to boot from the cd-rom only. If I
go in and reset it to boot from the HD, I just
get an error message.
It's not actually booting from the CD-rom because
that doesn't work, but it is starting the installation
process if I put the windows xp disk in the DVD drive.
So what can
I do to get it through the whole process?
