Hair pulling XP install
Ok I have an acer aspire 5100 laptop. It had a cd-rom drive that was busted and i replaced it. I had disabled network boot and moved the cd-rom to the top of this list and windows booted fine. As soon as windows loads on the computer I get a blue screen error, and it shuts down. The HD is fine (per Hitachi drive fitness test), its also brand new (january 08). I don't know what the issue is with it but I would like to figure it out. It seems that after I restart the computer it will load windows a few times but eventually (after a few restarts nd blue screen errors) will give me an error saying that a windows file is missing. What could possibly be causing this? I can run scans on the computer (for now) if needed....I just really need to figure out what's going on.

no i didnt change anything. Prior to this the dd-drive was busted and i installed xp on the hard drive thru another computer, and still got the error. Then i installed xp thru a usb drive, still blue screen error, now i replace the cd-rom drive and still blue screen error. I didnt change anything in the bios, to tell ya the truth there isnt much to change besides the order of the boot, and enabling and disabling of boot, on screen logo, lan, and a few others but i didnt change anything besides the LAN boot.
