IRQ not Less or Equal errors at install point to some device XP is haveing a hard time dealing with at install. Disable any un-needed ports both com and LPT as well as USB and or firewire until XP is installed, than re-enable them one by one after. My money is on the USB ports being the problem. But sometimes a modem or NIC will cause it as well with IRQ's being shared with other items.
