Ordered all the components for a new PC. Built it. (Possibly fried some stuff in the process).

My problem is installing Windows. OEM version of XP Home. I just don't know how to get it started as the computer won't pass the Verifying DMI pool data part of the start up, just before Windows would load normally.

Anyway what makes things possibly that bit more complicated is that the HDD is a SATA drive. Motherboard is Abit NF7-S.

Just somebody PLEASE tell me what to do to get started.
Thanks
