Cannot install Win XP on Toshiba Satellite C850D-119.
I get a BSOD code 0x0000000A right after all the installation files have finished loading. I tried every solution i could find online, like changing HDD mode to "Compatibility", disabling almost all hardware in BIOS, trying setup from USB instead of CD, also tried SP3 although i want to install SP2.... Does anyone have a better idea of how to fix this?
Complete stop code is (0x00000008 0x00000002 0x00000000 0x8080FC1C)

It might not be compatible. That laptop shipped with Windows 8, XP is quite old for something so new.

XP might not have drivers for graphics, or chipset.

Also, you need to have sata/ahci mode set to "compatible/ide" before installing, and bios set to boot legacy BIOS not UEFI. And after install, not change them. And also there might be 42bit LBA issue too, so XP should be installed on partition no bigger than 120 GB.

But if it doesn't work when installed like that, it probably has hardware that's not compatible with generic drivers XP has. And there can't be possibly specific drivers for so new laptop for XP, so the performance would be bad anyway.
