Ok even that way you are lucky ,you have Win98 and Win2k as choices
Now really , you must have a problem with your memory , try to lower down the Cas latency to 3 .. and try again ..

I'm having a similar problem with our second computer here. I just put that Soyo BX board I posted about in it last night and everytime I go to install windows it crashes with a vxd error at the initializing hardware/drivers phase, then the screen freezes and the top third of the screen is all scrambled looking.

It's running cas 3-3-3 right now, but I think it is because I have so much ram on the board. I am gonna try to remove 3 of the 4 sticks of PC133 and try again today.

try disabling ACPI when installing XP, when it asks you for a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver, hold the F7 key until the screen advances.

Oh, now I see... you're using parts from an AMD machine.... the intel processor won't work because if it did, there'd only be 2 degrees of separation between it and an Athlon
