Any ideas what is happening and how I can fix it? Very strange I read elsewhere on a forum that on certain motherboards u need to connect your cd drives on a certain ide controller to make the operate properly, so I'd suggest swapping your hard drive and cd-rom assuming they are on separate controllers and see what happens This might also be a problem with the dell partitioning of the hard drive?
Try disconnecting your drive and start with the XP setup cd until u get the message "no hard drives detected in your system" error, that will rule out ram and cd-rom.
Pull the hard drive and see if you can partition and format it in another computer. Replace it back into your Dell and see if it lets you install XP. Similar threads.
