One little spec of dust on the cd or drive could cause this.
Google the STOP 0X error code would be a good idea too.

Windows installed OK, right? If so, which drivers are erroring out? If the motherboard drivers, make sure you load drivers for the correct Windows version.
Are you doing a RAID with the 2 HDs?

Is the XP disc new? A damaged disc (the damage may not be visible) can also cause that problem.

I assume the errors are occuring while your attempting to install the OS,is this correct?
Make sure antivirus is disabled in bios. Did you have XP partition the drive? Have you run a diagnostic on the hard drive(available from Seagate)? Have you made sure the memory is in the right slots? What cdrom are you using(sata or ide)? |
