    Oh man, I just got my G1 today and I decide to make a fresh install of XP Pro on it. The problem is I accidentally reformat the Whole Hard Drive ( even the Recovery Partion ) and now I got problems:
    I Think u guys know that when we put the XP Cd in the laptop, on start up it'll ask to press any key to start the Set Up, but when it finished copying files into C. the machine reboot and keep asking me to press any key to go into setup instead of going into the REAL INSTALLATION. Any one have a solution ? I'm getting crazy of it.

    Try this, at G1 logo screen press "ESC" on the KB and it'll ask you "Please select a boot device" and then choose Hard drive to boot.
