Can't reformat laptop. Windows XP

Hello all, I backed up all my important data to an external hard drive and simply wanted to reformat my computer to scratch to solve a few other problems it was having but every time I attempt to boot the computer up using the windows xp disk it loads the files from the cd and does the setup or whatever, and then right before it starts anything and moves onto the next part it gives me this error msg:
http://desmond.yfrog...e=640&ysize=640

This happens before it even begins to install anything and is just checking the hard drive. I then end up having to reset. I've tried different copies of windows XP to see if it was just the CD and none worked.

Edit: I have exact problem as the guy from this thread but it doens't say how he resolved it: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic101083.html
