my thought would be to get a bootable copy of the hard drives utility, wipe it clean to all zeros, format, then install typically.

assuming this install isnt comming from the image on the HDD.

You may want to think about running hdd diag on it too, should be in the bios in most hp notebooks. Just let it run overnight and see the good (or bad) news in the am.

When it asks, hit F8 and be sure to install your sata drivers using a floppy or USB stick. ...If you haven't done that, that is.

I've ran into this previously and it turns out its actually 'NTLDR is Missing'.

This may help. hope so.

Are you running at stock with the proper memory voltage and timings?

The 0xC2 error is BAD_POOL_CALLER, and in this case parameter 1 (41) means it is attempting to free a non-allocated unpaged pool.
This is normally a driver issue.

What kind of WinXP disk are you using? OEM (HP?), full retail version?

Enter bios find hdd settings and change sata mod to " IDE " or something similiar you found at bios .If i found correct info system is 775 socket P4 with sata HDD ,i seen sata hdd at non-ide mode may cause this kind of trouble with xp .
