    make, model, model number of pc?
    laptop or desktop?
    original version of windows that came with the pc?
    before a clean install of any OS, you must do a full format
    type of media you are using to install xp, (cd, usb, dvd..etc.) ?

    a blank DVD??

    how do you expect to install xp without an install OS on the media

    do you have sata drives??

    have you used this exact dvd to install xp before?

    xp will not install on a sata drive without sata controllers slipstreamed onto the install media.
    -------------
    1. did you change the bios to boot from dvd?
    2. which setup screen is it stuck at
    3. are you using a ps2 keyboard or a usb or a wifi keyboard?
    4. is the cursor stuck or the arrows on keyboard not moving?
