i recently bought an hp compaq nc 4000 laptop from my work place
having 512 mb of ram, 60 gb of hdd and 1.4ghz of processor speed running
windows 2000.
bought an oiginal cd of xp professional since i find xp far much better.
Now when i boot from the cd and the laptop loads files, after loading files
like FAT and NTFS
, a blue screen appears reading "windows has stopped ..... to prevent your
computer from damage. check for viruses, hdd drivers ...." and stop there
until you manually shut the laptop down.
I check for BIOS setting but it has no setting for HDD, the ram works well
in win2000.
Any body with am idea plizzzz help

Did you format the HDD first?
