Wait for 30 minutes and if nothing changes then retry the install!

59%! But I think there's multiple bad sectors cause it's stuck there.

I would recommend NOT using Windows XP unless you're making some kind of offline control computer for old CnC machines or something similar.

 

As @Enderman said, Windows XP has been "end of support" for Microsoft since 2008, and was officially "end of life" in 2012 meaning ZERO security updates are coming out for any vulnerabilities still remaining in the OS or being discovered.

No, Windows 95 is completely OK. :D

 

I mean, it's not like the viruses could actually make it any worse.
