Try disconnecting as many devices as possible (printers, network cards, flash drives, external drives, extra video cards, sound cards, cameras, etc.) before doing the Windows install.
It may be detecting a device that it does not have the generic or preloaded drivers.
After successful installation of Windows, simply install the devices one at a time.

While installing device drivers during the later portion of Setup, Windows XP Home Edition Setups stops. Your only choice is to restart your computer.
If Setup misidentifies a device and installs an incompatible driver, you will experience this behavior.
To workaround this issue:
your previous attempts at upgrading to Windows XP have hung, you may wish to confirm installation of each device driver, so you can detect and/or skip the problem driver(s):
1. See How do I install Windows XP?
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3. When you see the Installing Devices green progress indicator appear, on the right-hand side of your screen, during the Installing Windows portion of setup, press SHIFT+F10 to open a command prompt.
4. In the command prompt, type taskmgr and press Enter.
5. Select the Processes tab.
6. For every occurrence of svchost.exe, select it and press End Process.
7. When you have ended all instances of svchost.exe, exit Task Manager.
8. Setup will now prompt you to confirm the installation of each device driver by displaying a Hardware Installation dialog, which describes the device driver. You may press Yes to install it or No to skip the installation.
NOTE: DO NOT skip a device driver that is required for Windows XP to operate.

Try using the format command from the start up disk or program disk. Format C...if it asks you to completely format, say yes ONLY if you have the OS install disk. IF the OS install is an upgrade, then you must have a copy of the OS you presently have. You do not need the old OS loaded, just tell the New OS disk where to look for the proof of the old OS system, (in the other CD tray) and you will get a clean install. Good luck
