"Went to setup up xp pro this weekend on a spare computer and it hangs during the installation. Here are the points i get to:
boot from cd
go through the eula
create a partition..."
I had a prob once where I couldn't do an install from the XP cd because I had partitioned my HD with Partiton Magic. I had to use the XP Boot Floppies to do a clean install. The LLF of course would rule this prob out but, your specs say ypu have a 120Ghd yet you say you create a 97gig partion before you continue your install.
Looks like you've eliminated any hardware conflicts. If resetting your bios dosen't work, the next time you boot from the CD, DO NOT "create a partiton". In other words, install the OS to the FULL 120gig HD?
Good luck!
