Setup Cannot continue HELP!

Okay I see

512MB RAM
60GB HDD
1.67 GHZ AMD Athlon XP
MB NFORCE2 A7N8X DELUXE ASUS RTL

I have XP Home running on it just now. I used to have
win98 and XP Pro running on it before then had to wipe the
disk. Couldn't reinstall either and so used sys recovery
disk that came with PC. this worked but PC kept rebooting
bizarrely. The MB was definitely a bit fried so I got the
one above. Now it works fine but it freezes up if I use a
Win98 boot disk on menu screen (tried more than one).
Gives original posted message for XP Pro setup - the disks
are fine - I have more than one and have used them since
then on friends PCs.

I hope this is enough.
