Problem installing Win XP

I made a bootup USB stick with Win XP in order to install it on my PC. It boots without any problems to the TXT mode setup. It i I'm having a problem at the point where "setup is starting Windows" and then I get a blue screen with the message "a problem has been detected and windows will shut down to prevent further damage...." I tried three diffferent USB drives. I never encountered any problems with the Windows to USB drive installation. I followed the instructions to a teeth. I can't get past the windows setup file screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

this may help you....or else you may visit the thread I have created....

 

I've got exactly the same problem and I've just used the suggested method mentioned above without any improvement.

 

That is the method which I first tried and then also tried a similar method using the USB_Multiboot as well. I can create the boot USB without any problems. Then I selected the "text" mode installation and it begins to transfer files. As soon as it reaches the "setup is starting Windows" thats where I encounter the blue screen. I"m going to try using USB DVD rom to see if it's any better.
Nevertheless, thanks for your response.

 

I finally figured it out and installed Win XP. When I loaded my copy of Win XP onto the USB, I was using an old copy of XP without SP1 nor SP2. I slipstreamed SP2 with my Win XP and it worked great.

 

good to here that pal.

Great....will let Brian know about it.....

Thnks for sharing the solution.

 

You're welcome.
