If you are trying to install the Windows XP from scratch on the laptop, please BE SURE that you put the Hard Drive on "Compatibility" mode in BIOS, which was defaulted to "AHCI" (Compatibility is also known as IDE).
Otherwise, you will experience the "blue screen" issue. To change that setting, you need to do the following:
1. Press F2 when booting up the computer
2. Select 'Config', then 'Serial ATA (SATA)'
3. Change controller option to 'Compatibility' / 'IDE'

1) Make sure you instal XP with 2GB only. You can the full amount later.
2) Change in the BIOS your hard drive settings from SATA to IDE
3) Change your CD

hi,
check for errors in the hard disk by running scanreg
if there is errors, the system will try to fix the errors.
make sure that the RAM is not faulty.

other thing is, try to check on the bios settings regarding the harddisk coz, I encounter lots of problem when installing windows on new laptops and its getting me the same error and what I did is to change the hard disk settings to ATA and install the OS again.

Man I changed it to ata a was laa. Booting xp up and happy. It took 3 weeks
To find this page and try this simple method. But yes this I'd correct. You have to change the ahci to ata of else you gonna get that same stupid blue screen that drives all of us insane. I almost threw my computer away. Haha thanks guys

You just saved my life bro...
@oceanmaster nailed it..
Thanks for the solution.
God bless..
Keep doing it.
At first I couldn't figure out how to change from AHCI to IDE. The system I was using only gave me options to "accept" or "exit". Finally used the right/left arrows and could make changes.
Thanks again for the instructions. :)
