  • Answer:

    you are experiencing the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death", BSOD. most likely the XP install software is not able to use your hard disk, which would be expected if it's Serial ATA. You may need a floppy diskette with the driver for the hard disk (or hard disk controller... I forget which) so that XP can load the driver before it tries to find the hard disk. I had this recently and it was possible, but I don't remember it well enough to say where I got the info-- I want to say Microsoft's website was where I got it. Be advised your install disc may not work unless it's a Dell disc, or a retail box version. You can't use, for example, an HP install disc, it checks and your computer won't work. Also you're going to want to get Windows updated right away to SP3, because Microsoft has already ended support for 2.
