Okay you said that XP copied the files so im assuming that it freezes after it try's to restart. Manually restart the laptop go into the bios and now set it to boot from the Hard Drive first. Let me know.

failing that i'd say get an old boot disk and reformat your drive to FAT32, and then try installing XP onto that, reformatting it to NTFS during install...
