After numerous attempts and wasting a lot of time, I tried
another CD (XP Pro this time) and had no problems at all. The
install also went at lightening speed (~15 min) compared to the
Home CD (the stop error happened each time after about AN
HOUR!) Obviously there's something wrong with his XP Home CD,
that was not only causing the error causing it to read REALLY
slow. Thank God that's all it was.

I have NEVER seen this before, even after hundreds of fresh
installs. These are all brand new components.
HD was formatted by the XP CD using the LONG method, not
"quick". HD is SATA.
BOTH optical drives have been tried. (One is SATA, the other
is IDE).
The CD has been cleaned. It's NOT an upgrade, not a copy, but
the full install original hologram XP Home CD.
Yet it keeps stopping on the installation screen with these
notes of interest on the file that pops up:
SXS.dll
syntax error in manifest or policy file
x:\i386\asms\10\MSFT\windows\GDIplus.man on line 4
I see that it's common,
(http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/15875/ among
many) and I'm searching for fixes now. But I'm posting it
hoping someone has had this with a definite fix.
Thanks,
