XP Reinstall help

[Boldgamer]

I am trying to reinstall XP on my system. This isn't the first time I have done this. I have never had a problem before. The only difference now is that I recently had Ubuntu 7.10 on my system on a separate partition. I deleted that partition and my XP partition. Then reformated the Partition. After it reformats and copies the installation files it gives the message to restart like it usually does. upon restart I get the message to boot from CD as usual and I just don't press anything as usual. Then nothing happens. It stays hung on that screen. I have tried going through repair on the installation disk and used fixmbr and fixboot. Neither seemed to help. I don't think my hard drive is bad because I was able to go back and install Fedora 4 with no problem. Any suggestions? I have another partition that I would really like to keep but if I need to I will delete it. Thank you all for any help.
