Nothing man thats the thing, it runs to the blue setup screen and then says “loading windows setup” and never gets to the user agreement screen, just a black screen and sits there until i reboot. I then try this process over but by pressing F7 to force a bypass on the HAL and then (only with windows xp SP2 disc) formats the HDD and then goes to the windows install screen for a few mins and looks to be installing when all of a sudden it says “Product catalog missing” I click more info and it tells me there is an error in the I386 folder which would make sense because the win xp SP2 disc I have is a copied version… Student edition, might not be legit. Other than that the other legit OS discs I have; xp home upgrade sp1 disc and Server 2003 disc do not seen to work properly. Maybe I just need to get a hold of a Legit copy of Windows SP2 thanx guys, hope i didnt complicate things --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/asus-a8n32-sli-motherboard-windows-xp-install/25461)._
