Yesterday I finished building my pc after I RMAd my ep35 and got the ep45 mobo instead.

Yesterday it finished formatting and went into the gui, which is when I had to leave. When I came back the next day, the pc was off (not sure if this was the pc or my parents that did this.) When I tried to reboot, it would get stuck on verifying dmi pool then go into a blank screen and stay there.

Today I reformatted. It got stuck on 75% for about 30 minutes, then rebooted, then went into the gui and finished up (the gui didn't let me put in any information like naming the computer and all those, it's a burned CD though.)

So, do I reformat because it only went to 75% or do I just not worry about it since the installation seems to be successful? Could it have really finished formatting during those 30 minutes even though it said it was on 75%? Should I get a new XP disc/buy one?
