Reformat then XP Installation problems.

    I've recently reformatted my computer.

    I started the process to boot from the XP CD and did the Setup.
    Now after it formats the drive and copies the setup files over, It usually restarts with the actual Windows Installation screen with the "30 minutes remaining" part on the left of the screen.

    But I'm having a problem, Instead of going to that Windows installation part, It starts the whole process over again, Asking me where I want to install XP etc.

    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? it's done this several times now and I'm at a dead end.

    Thank you.

    after the first reboot, eject the cd, it should boot from the hard drive instead of the cd
