If you are re-installing a PC or Laptop that has just come back from the manufacturer with Windows Vista or XP, or if you need to clean install XP and the machine was deigned for use with XP, you may get a BSOD during the inital setup.
This often indicates a hard drive error. Vista uses a different method of detecting SATA hard drives, which is not recognised by XP, and this might be resolved by going into the BIOS settings and changing the configuration on the hard drive to ATA.
XP Should now be able to see the hard drive and allow setup to continue.
