If you install Windows XP on a modern system, you may experience a blue screen error. This article will help you fix this. Cause How to fix Cause I do not have a modern computer and I have never encountered a blue screen error when booting into the Windows XP installer.

Hotkey instructions are generally provided on the screen. Assuming that it is supported as is the case with virtually all modern hardware , promote your USB drive to the primary boot device.

Please notice that you can seriously screw up your system by providing incorrect BIOS settings! Depending on the speed of your USB drive, this may take a while. Is the USB device listed and does it have top priority? Have you correctly prepared the USB drive in step one? Restart the procedure. Does your USB drive properly support being booted from? Try another one! Step 4: Prepping the Hard Disk. You need to make sure that your hard drive is partitioned and formatted properly.

Especially if you've had Linux or some other operating system on it, you'll need to repartition and format it. The rescue drive contain file manager and command line utility. You can launch DiskPart for disk partitioning and formatting from the command utility. If you are sure that your hard drive is set up properly i. If your hard drive is partitioned in GPT mode, you also need repartition and format the disc. Enter the commands needed to repartition and format your drive.

For example, try the following:. I'll be honest, I integrate the drivers into nLite for stuff like this and rarely ever use floppy disks. Point being, I'm not sure if extracting this right to the root of a floppy disk will work, but I'm pretty sure you'll be ok. Try and take only the 3 files that are in the actual WINXP folder in that ZIP file and put it on the root of the floppy instead delete all files on the floppy first. Post back your results after trying it again.

I might have missed your comment, but did you do as Puggsley suggested? If you have not done this, Windows isn't going to load, because although it will see the controller, it won't see a partition as being created since you didn't do that step. I'm assuming you didn't, because if you did, install would see a partition and ask you to format it.

Basically you were already at the step that I had you do again because I didn't read carefully enough. If it sees the controller you are well off. But if it doesn't see the disk, it's because there's no partitions assigned to the controller. Thanks a lot If you don't see it then there could be a problem with the SCSI controller. SCSI drives take time to spin up and initialize so the controller will normally search for disks then spin them up one at a time.

This can take over a minute to do. Attached is a photo i took now of the HD with all its info - could it be that its not a SCSI drive but my comp is seeing it as one? The way windows works though it treats it as SCSI. Go into the BIOS and somewhere you will find a mode for the hard drive.
