i'm having a problem while trying to format my pc.

i boot from the windows xp cd and the blue screen (windows set up <setup is loading files>) starts and before asking to format, it gives me this blue screen problem

"a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer

technical information
stop 0x0000007B (0xF9AA3524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"

any one has any idea what this is? and how to fix it?!

Thanks

SATA hard drive? If yes you need the XP-compatible SATA drivers installed before XP will properly recognize and utilize the controller interface. Either install them at the F6 step of setup or integrate them into the XP install CD with something like nLite.
