    When you get errors like this during a clean installation of XP on a drive that's been freshly formatted, they are usually due to faulty RAM. If you have other memory you can try, that's usually the quickest way to troubleshoot the issue. Sometimes memory that can pass hours of diagnostics will still cause problems with a Windows installation.

    It's not the RAM, and it's not a freshly formatted drive. There is an installation of Windows XP on the laptop, but the bios is somehow missing. Is there a way to format the drive and then somehow get the drivers into the system?
