I've had problems installing Windows XP pro before and having it lock up
(although for me the system rebooted). I found that after disconnecting the
USB to Serial Belkin device, the setup continued fine. The moral of the
store is to disconnect EVERYTHING possible before installing or upgrading
Windows XP.
HTH.
