win xp pro taking a long time to install???

[scottamc]

did a clean install on a computer i just built and it took several hours last night to do the blue screen install of setup files. then it took around 3 or 4 hours to do windows setup instalation. Then after it was all done, the computer cpu usage was hovering around 100%. so i thought maybe i should reinstall windows. Im reinstalling right now and win xp blue screen setup is going and its been 45 min and im only 34% done. Does this sound right to you?

30 mins later its only at 38% done on the setup. Im on the blue screen that says "please wait whie setup copies files to the windows installation folders. This might take several minutes to complete. "

How long does this normally take?

Sounds like your disk is messed up or it's having problems reading the CD...
