Have there been any hardware changes to all the machines?  I had a 
recent problem with my Compaq where it didn't seem to like the nic or 
the video card added later when the on board connections failed.  In my 
case, I ran the restore, shut down the pc instead of rebooting or going 
into setup, removed the 2 cards then rebooted.  Waited about 4 or 5 
minutes for the windows setup to complete, shut down again.  Then 
reinstalled the nic and video cards.

We need to wipe the hard drives and restore the OEM Windows XP Pro on all the computers before we can donate or sell them off to employees. The Quick Restore Disk works fine and the Windows XP Pro restores fine from the disk, it copies down all the information, ejects the disks and reboots. BUT when the computers restart for  the Windows XP Pro installation they ALL stop at the same EXACT spot and go no further! I also believe it has to do with some software being installed along with Windows not the OS itself because if we restart the computers we can enter them into safe mode before the installation continues at the last point it was at ( the stopping point I stated earlier), and everything looks to be fine from there, but if we exit to restart normally, back to the faulty installation process it goes.
