Is XP now too old for an Intel I3 processor? I can't get it to install I get the blue screen and the STOP numbers.
if youre installing on a new HDD, check in the bios that your SATA settings are correct.
(i.e. switch between ATA and compatability mode)
I'm putting it onto a Hackintosh machine so SATA is set to ACHI, could this be the problem? It gets further when using a virtual machine to install but wants to replace the existing OS.
i3 should be fine with XP. Have you Googled the STOP error? It's more likely you've got a duff bit of RAM.
Replace existing OS?
try switching the bios setting and have another go.
its a problem I had the other day and found a solution googling the BSOD error
And what SP are you installing? As Stoner says, early SPs (not sure up to when) don't understand SATA.
