I am having problems with Windows and my hard drive, but I believe they are seperate from this issue. Durring the Windows XP Home repair install the process hangs durring the 34 minute mark, it has done this before and I followed the "restart untill it skips the device its stuck on" solution and it eventually worked. However, this time i have been trying that for like a day and a half, still no luck. I looked up the log files and found that the video card had not been installed yet. Also, before the HD LED stops and the whole install hangs, my screen flashes as if the video drivers are being installed, but when i check the log files it just says some PNP device was installed correctly, and if I wait like 20-30min it will get to 33min remaining and the logs say it is trying to remove something, then it hangs forever (7 hours last night and no progress). Today I tried taking out my high end vid card and using an OLD pci slot vid card and the same results... Then I read an artice from Microsoft that talked about a bug in some USBHUB.sys and it had a hotfix, so I put it on a floppy and actualy installed the hotfix while the install was hanging at 34 mins then restarted, NOTHING... still hangs at 34 mins.
What do I do...? Tried the vid card, restarts, the hotfix, disabled any onboard features on my board... are there any other board options i need to check, any way to bypass video drivers, anything? Please help me...
