Loading windows XP OS problem with freezing?

You can probably run the chkdisk utility on the drive and make it useable. If you can put the drive in an operating/running system then right click the drive from my computer and select tools and tick both boxes. It will repair or mark the bad sectors and then Windows XP should load on the drive then.

Good luck

The most likely cause is a bloated registry which has become the home for all kinds of useless bits and pieces of data. Whenever any change is made to the system settings or a program is installed or uninstalled, a new entry is generated in the registry. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There is a multitude of useless bits and pieces to be removed.Parts of uninstalled programs,parts of incompletely installed programs,dead drivers and many other things. clean your registry and remove all the useless data fragments and no longer needed information to fix the freeze error! I should like to commend Registry Easy http://clean-up-registry-faster-pc.com/ to you !You can try ! Good luck!

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com/

Is the partition you are trying to install on large enough to accept the installation?

I would guess that it has bad sectors. Have you been able to run a complete format on that drive?
