Can't install Windows XP SP2

[stytagm]

Is Win XP Corporate the same as XP Pro?
Is it the same except for not needing activation and hence having been pirated lots, and then blocked?

Ta, Andrew.

basically different install media and checksums -
I've got three different versions at work - commercial, corp and msdn, and it's a hassle keeping them straight.

Hi

I have tried aleast 5 times to fresh install it on a newly formatted hd from different CDs and it always crashes at the same point.
After 34 minites left on the install, the screen flashes (I think it switches to DVI) and then goes blank. After about 10 more seconds the hard disk turns off. Reboot and exactly the same thing happens
I've tried using the fail-safe defaults in the BIOs but the same thing happens.

Help!

Thanks.

Do you have a different video card to use, it may be that because the card is so new the setup program does not recognise it.
