    Windows 98/XP setup problems

    My friend got a new computer and was trying to put XP on it. The install was going fine, but when the timer said 34 minutes left, it froze. Every time after that, it said something along the lines of "Line 727 of INF file \i386\txtsetup.sif is corrupted. Setup cannot continue." I brought over my windows 98 cd and tried to use that, but when I choose the setup option it says "Scanning PCI bus using mechanism #1" and then hangs. I've never seen that mechanism #1 part. What's causing it to hang?
