Windows XP Repari Install Hangs!

[flamingice]

Hey,

I'm having a problem with a Windows XP Repair install hanging, with '34 minutes remaining'. This is in the stage where it's installing devices, so I assume there's a problem with one of the devices. I've unplugged everything possible from the computer, the only things that are left are the keyboard and USB mouse, and the only card left in is the graphics card, (GeForce 4 Ti something or other, can't remember) I've heard that there's often a problem with nVidia drivers, so I'm thinking that may be the issue?

I've tried looking at the log files, but can't figure out how to interpret them. If somebody could give me a hand with it, that'd be awesome.

It looks like it maybe has problems with the nvidia drivers.
(Based on these errors: C:\WINDOWS\system32\nv*.* was not deleted because of the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.)
Try using driver cleaner pro to clean things up first before running repair.

Thanks. I ended up borrowing a friends ATI graphics card, but that didn't help. So I've just done a clean install of Windows, needed to be done sometime soon.
