how to avoid that blue screen with error message

And if ever you can't get it to do it like it normally should e.g if your HDD is primary, go into BIOS and change your boot order. Put CD/DVD drive in first order and then reboot.

set drive to IDE in bios to avoid blue screen

Set to IDE instead of AHCI in BIOS
Other option would be to install the AHCI drivers during the install of windows when it asks to.

There really isn't much benefit in installing the AHCI drivers if you are using a HDD.
