I had this problem, although I disabled mup.sys through recovery and it just hung
after the previous file. So in my case it was not mup.sys.
I tried to re-install winxp home from cd and half way through the install it stopped
working. It just sat there saying it was copying files but there was no disk activity.
To solve, I booted from win98 install cd to the dos prompt. Used fdisk to remove
my ntfs partition and created a new primary partition. Rebooted again from win98
cd and then used \win98\format to format the partition as FAT32.
Then I rebooted and installed winxp. When asked whether to convert from FAT32 to
NTFS i used last option to install on the c: as is without formating or converting.
Anyway, it all installed smoothly and I'm now happily working on fat32 winxp.
