use install disc
at prompt to install where
highligh that drive don't install delete finish this back to install where un


select the drive prompt to format say yes after format auto install
no sata drivers to worry bout
but I would check the video if using a agp card may want to remove clean out the slot and replace
in bios disable video shadowing

if ME runs the xp should run,on boot hit the F8 key for safe mode see if you can access xp that way
before you do this make sure video caching and or shadowing is disabled
in bios
disable any stop error in bios
I don't remember if that was onboard video or not
maybe time for new vid card
 
hello

try using a bootable floppy drive..get ti the DOS and run a debug. delete any partions and create new.. set BIOS settings to factory and then boot through XP and see if it persists. Dont forget to set BIOS to factory defaults
