   We have a genuine XP + SP2 CD, a genuine XP CD and a bootleg XP + SP3 cd,   
   the result is the same with each. The installer gets to load the files &   
   drivers on the initial setup blue screen, goes for the auto reboot and   
   then the HDD locks up on the windows XP loading screen, just before it   
   should go to the "your windows is being installed" screen with the   
   countdown on it...
