Windows setup not responding!!! PLease help

[Frenchservice]

First I want to say thanks to anyone who helps me with my major problem.

I recently built my first computer and the parts are as follows:

Processor: Q9400 2.66GHz 6mb cache Intel Quad core
Video card: EVGA 9800gx2 GDDR3
Memory: 4GB OCZ reaper 1066MHz
Motherboard: EVGA 780i intel chipset FTW model. I think it has 1333 FSB
PSU: 859 watt rosewill extreme series
Hard drive: 500g Western digital 7200Rpm Sata drive

Well my first problem was that in the windows partition screen my 500GB HDD only said it was 131GB but I figured out that windows xp Sp 1 does not reconize sata drives so I used a Service pack 2 disk and it reconized it, but when I go to install windows on the C drive (which I made it to be 120GB) it does not setup. What I mean is on the blue screen with the progress bar at the bottom does not pass 0%. I waited for at least 10 min.

PLEASE HELP!

Edit* The screen that wont pass 0% is the windows XP setup window. The bar says setup is formatting... And above that is says

C: Partition1 [New (raw)] 200000 MB (200000 MB free)
on 476938 MB disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR].

--if that means anything at all--

Since it looks like you only want a 120gig C drive, try your other cd. The rest of the drive will be there after the install to make additional partition(s).

Was XP formatting the drive?

What other Cd are you speaking of? I have a SP 1 disc and a SP 2 disc

I think it was but I don't know because it just stopped. I will go try it now and let it sit for a few hours

Let me say here the difference between quick and normal format is that normal will check the disk for errors.

Quick is fine for new drives...if you trust them.
