Problem installing Windows XP on Benq Joybook S32B-LM04

I have try to install Win XP on to Joybook S32B-LM04 (build for Vista) but it freezes!

At first I pop in XP cd ...
then press any key to load from cd.
The process continue passing all driver loading, then XP let you choose to install fresh copy OS or repair OS
I choose install fresh copy,
then it freezes at the blue screen that let you choose about format to NTFS , NTFS Quick

I try two copy of XP cd, it stuck at nearly same spot no respond from keyboard
Now I still can do normal boot from Harddisk because no format occure yet.

So i search from google about "XP install freeze" found that i have to check faulty for Ram, HDD, Optical Drive.
I try test Ram, HDD, and DVD drive but they all seem ok. Don't know what to do next i decide call BenQ support.

The solution is just follow step of XP installation but you need to be quick and no hesitate. Don't forget prepare number to fill in for your partition size.
It'll be fine if you can choose to format before it freezing, or else just redo the process again til you can do all step in time.
