Installing XP

That would be the part where the regional settings,
network config, and entering the key would come up. I
just let it do it's thing and it just keeps going back to
the original install.

Failure to install MS operating systems usually is because of bad
hardware. Start by testing the RAM (www.memtest86.com) and if the RAM
is good (and let the test run for an extended period of time, like all
day or overnight), then test the hard drive (mftrs. have utilities).
