502324 2006-11-27 02:29:00 I am trying to install Windows XP/plain windows *anything* onto this computer.

It crawls through post during boot. Sometimes pauses when showing info. about hard drive/cd rom etc.

I am trying to find a new bios to see if that will fix the prob. Can't find the new bios on the net. Got info. from detection tool used in command prompt:
