I have reformatted the hard drive to reinstall windows xp, but it now freezes during the installation

Could be RAM, Could be Hard drive or the disk is just scratched.
Eliminate these one by one starting from the disk.
The most common cause of computer freezes is a corrupt registry.
Most likely your registry is bloated and overstuffed with an assortment of useless pieces of data. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There will be bits of programs which were not completely uninstalled, parts of programs which were never completely installed, fragments of miscellaneous data, useless drivers, and a multitude of other bits and pieces.
The answer is to clean your registry and remove all the material which is not needed.
