a black screen can be caused by a problem with the hard drive boot sector, if it is only partially complete then it will tell the system to boot from it, then hang...

I would suggest wiping the drive partitions then letting XP set them up, if that fails, then change the Ram...

As for problems installing XP onto large drives, I have personally installed XP onto 200Gb hard drives in Compaq Evo machines without problems...
