Qz05.
A solid amber power LED is normally a power supply failure, you can check by first unpluging the power cable, open case and disconnect the power cables from all the drives, remove the PCI cards and try to power on. If nothing changes, then replace the PSU.

Qz05.Before formatting the hard drive, did you delete all exsisting partitions?Prior to installing, remember to disconnect all external peripherals from the computer, except the keyboard, monitor and mouse.
While installing, delete all existing partitions (Paragraph 5) when you are prompted, then remake and format
them (Paragraphs 6 & 7), following by installing XP.
