i know that before, while installing from BIOS, after completion of the 1st phase, in the 2nd phase that comes after the windows XP booting logo, press [shift]+[F10], that will bring up the command prompt, type "taskmgr", and you will be greeted with the task manager, next just find the process "setup.exe" under the process tab and change its priority to high or realtime.

I really didnt know about this before. I thought the command prompt and all its related shortcuts will be installed only after the O/s installation in full. However i do know that the command prompt exists in the repair mode. Thanx mate. But anyway i am slowly refraining from using windows xp nowadays...
