WinXP installation jams after driver loading

I'm trying to install Windows XP Professional from my own CDs on my friends' Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo TMS-7125 (or at least that's what it says in the back).

Knowing the brand's reputation I expected trouble and got some. When I start the Windows XP installation, it loads drivers for a while, then finishes loading them and gives me a black screen with a blinking _.

The previous installation was a Windows XP Home that was completely screwed up, so I cleaned the HD with Kill Disk and thought that would help. Well, it didn't, and nothing has changed. I also checked if the HD is damaged, but it seems to be fine just like RAM, CPU and other parts. The HD is a SATA one if that helps.

So, any ideas are much appreciated.

 

Trust me, it's not

Hmm, according to Fujitsu-Siemens, there is a Scaleo T but no manual for it and to see or download the drivers requires a serial number The supplied picture is of one of 4 types of 'T' shown after inputting 'scaleo t' into the support page search.

There are also many links referring to the (MSI) MS-7125 motherboard being installed in F-S machines.

Maybe a slipstreamed install would be the best route, once the correct drivers are downloaded?

 

Yes, the only reasonable solution could be the OEM CDs, but the problem is I don't have them. And neither does the computer's owner. It all still seems rather strange, I've installed a lot of computers and never seen a problem exactly like this. Not even in Fujitsu Siemens machines, and they're the ones most frequently in need of repairs.

Thanks for all your help so far though. I think I'll try installing Linux on it or something if I can't figure this out.
