I just have the computer upgraded to a SATA 500g WD HD, but I'm stuck after this stage:

enter image description here

After I pressed "ENTER" the computer frozen at "Please wait..." message. not disk or mem operation ever since.

The BIOS recognized the HD by displaying the HD model in POST and the installation disk worked previously. any clues?

I would work through the following list first:

Check the

  1. Check cd for defects
  2. Replace faulty media if step 1 fails
  3. Attempt install with no HDD connected
  4. If hang at the same step, then run Motherboard/Memory diagnostic checks
  5. Attempt install with connected HDD if step 3 passes required stage
  6. Run HDD tests if problem still exists

Check for known BIOS issues with the mainboard.
