I am trying to reinstall xp. I have an OEM XP disc. I boot into the disc and get a blue screen with white text that simply says Windows Setup. I left the computer on this screen for an hour and nothing happened. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to Daniweb !
It hangs while loading of files ?
Check the RAM if it covered by dust clean it and restore it and then back on.

My computer is working ok I am just trying to do a reinstall. When booting from the disc it hangs on just saying windows setup before I choose any options at all.

May be disc got corrupted or possible hardware problem.

"My computer is working ok"... oh no, it's not. Either your CD is dirty.... or your RAM is unhappy.. replug/swap it, try again.
