my sister got a new computer and the problem is when I run the xp setup cd and it starts loading the files, it stops loading when it says "setup is loading files (dynamic volume support (dmboot))".. I dont know what to do. Maybe a problem with the hard drive?, weird thing is I got ubuntu to install on the computer so I dont think its a hardware problem, thanks for your help.

the specs are

e2160
dg33 intel mobo
2gb ram
 
Is it a XP with SP2? If not that could be your problem. it's just can't detect something properly during initial setup.
 
Ive had problems installing XP before turned out to be the RAM dont kno if it will help but try installing on 1 stick of RAM and then try the other
 
Also try typing the error message into the microsoft website something might turn up
