[X4U] problems with bootcamp and windows install

hi

i do a little computer support for a landscape architecture firm here  
in zürich. they have 2 macpros (2.66 intel xeons, 3gb ram, 250gb hd)  
and 3 24" imacs (intel core 2 duo)

i've been able to install windows xp on 2 of the imacs. on the 3rd,  
boot camp (or the windows installer) just ejects the windows install  
cd, hanging the machine. i've tried with different install cds, same  
result.

as for the 2 macpros, both hang when the installer asks me to confirm  
that i really want to install windows xp. the keyboard doesn't  
respond, and the "caps lock" light turns on on the keyboard.

any thoughts?

all machnes are up to date (system, firmware) and the windows install  
cds are legit'.

regards

alexandre
