If the computer can start to open windows xp setup, its reading the hard disk alright... Why have you suddenly launched into xp setup anyway?
Meddling with settings you do not understand is a recipe for disaster...

Well if I'm right then you probably have formatted your hard drive and your sitting at the microsoft setup of windows with the registation and general information.On most emachine computers that I had troubleshoot that locked up on setup we had to tell the customer to remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard for a few minutes.For some reason setup is controlled by CMOS.remove all 3rd party peripherals such as printer etc.Just basic components of the keyboard mouse and monitor.Or if that's not the case I would check the HDD cable or reseat the connections to the drive.Make sure the HDD jumper is set in the correct place.Of coure just like sammorris said you are getting a windows screen from the hard drive so you can rule that out.
