Just reinstalled vista, stuck at loading screen.

Hey guys,

I just felt like reinstalling vista and doing a complete wipe of my HD
When I put the CD to install it, I deleted my partitions and created ne
ones, and I installed vista on one of them. The installation tha
proceeds as normal but it ends up freezing at a black screen, where onl
the mouse cursor is usable. I then manually shut off my computer an
started it up, and it gets stuck at the windows loading screen.

I've already gone into my bios and did a default reset, but that didn'
do anything. I also tried reinstalling vista two times but it doesn'
help. Anyone know what the problem could be

I think you should make sure that the drive you are installing to, is really
properly formatted,
and clean before you start the new install. I had to use my XP install disk
to do the necessary, and then stop when the drive is ready. Then Vista works
correctly,

How do I make sure the drive is properly formatted? The only XP disk
have handy is a reinstallation disk for an old computer, but it doesn'
recognize any of the hard drives if I use that one
