well first off, the message is because either your hard drive has gone bad. which could be the case. or it's your processor. if you processor isn't sending out the right instructions, you will have error messages. try replacing the processor. cause that's probably the problem. hope that helps

Did you format the drive first? Ive never had any luck installing XP or 2000 unless its on a clean drive. The IRQ error usually means a bad driver.
