DELL D420 will not install xp honly hangs

Hello,
i have a dell d420 which i have replaced the hard drive as the old drive was dead, this is a 60gb 1.8 zif drive :(, bloomin expensive, anyway i have the origanal dell OS Disk and drivers disks and also the media base with the cd drive in, when i try to install windows all it dose is either get stuck @ windows is inspecting your system, or it loads the kernal files then gets stuck at setup is starting windows, i have tryed a oem version of XP PRO, AND XP HOME AND EVEN LINSPIRE with the same result, i have even tryed installing XP PRO (lite ) from a mountable USB drive with exactly the same results, the hard drive is in the bios and can be formated, partioned so that seems to be working, any help would be greatfully accepted :)
