If you are toast right now, I would remove everything that isn't needed to install windows XP.

Remove the dvd-rom and make sure the cd-rom is set as Master or Cable Select.

Remove and cards, etc (unless you need the video card/i.e. your mobo doesn't have a built-in video connector).

Make sure your cables are attached correctly. Make sure that IDE 1 (the wide gray ribbon cable) is going to the hard drive. Make sure that your cd-rom is using a different cable and plugged into IDE 2 (or secondary).

Verify that your cables are installed correctly and that anything unecessary is removed.
