So I've been battling with Windows XP trying to install it onto a hard drive. I tried it with 3 different 1tb drives, one being NOS. They all freeze on the welcome to setup screen where you press enter to format the drives. I picked out some RAM and it did nothing. It once did not freeze and let me start formatting and installing. However, before the graphic stage it said something about a drive error. That to me seems hardware related. It does not freeze when I use my 250gb SSD or 250gb HDD. I am using USB to install windows but it was freezing in the same manner on CD.
The previous drives do not appear to be faulty, but maybe I am missing something as I don't know too much about hard drives. What's the correlation here? The computer itself is DELL XPS 720, if that's relevant.
