Ok, gonna provide as much info as possible here

The other day my mo-bo and video card went bye bye. Got that taken care of and figured now is a good time to reformat. I start that but I got an error part way through....which was my fault. I noticed that a fan was unplugged and went to plug it in...well my dumbass knocked off the connector to the hard drive. So naturually I get the blue screen of death...great...right in the middle of a reformat/install. So now I've been trying it again for the last few hours and now the PC is stuck. After I boot from the CD XP loads all of the generic files to prepare for an XP install, afer that's done you get the Setup is starting Windows message at the bottom but that's it...it's frozen...

I'm thinking it's because there's a partial, incomplete install of XP on there but how the F am I supposed to fix it?
