Windows wont install

[forrehmmnd]

I got a new mother board, and before i installed it, i backed everything crucial up on a 4 gb flash disk. I put the new motherboard in, got it to recognize all my disks and set it to boot from cd. It boots from the cd, but while loading the installation files, it hangs on either PCMCIA support or Generic USB parent driver. If it gets past that, it hangs while copying files. the farthest ive gotten is 95 % of copying files and then it bluescreened. The error had something to do with ntfs.sys file. Thats probably bad. Is the motherboard bad. I got it to install ubuntu just fine, but id like to play some of my games.

Its windows xp by the way.

Do you have another windows CD you could try?
Did you run some HDD Diagnostic tests?
Did you run memtest86+ v1.7?

I'm guessing your hardware is fine, since you were able to install another OS.

yeah, all the hardware checks out. I dont have another disk, but i have a friend who is willing to let me borrow his. So ill try that.
