I Have this Laptop Toshiba satellite u300-153, quite an old laptop which was used for 5 to 6 years. I had given the laptop to a friend, who accidentally deleted some system files (win XP sp2). There was this message about repairing the OS, unfortunately for some reason I was not able to boot from the CD/DVD Drive and there was no option for booting using USB. So I formatted the Laptop's HDD and installed XP to the HDD using my PC. After connecting the HDD back to the laptop there was this BSOD with message stating the error as

STOP: 0X0000007B (0xF78A2524, 0XC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000)

I searched for a solution and found out that SATA had to be set to IDE mode and not ATAPI, but there was no provision of changing the mode to IDE to ATAPI in my laptop, since it is an old laptop with basic bios settings. However I used nLite to add ATAPI drivers to Windows XP and made a Bootable disk. After installing XP through my PC and plugging it back to the laptop there was still no success, I received the same BSOD error. Checked for errors on the laptop's HDD and any bad sectors on it but everything is fine. I cant check the laptops memory for errors because it just doesn't read any CD/DVD. I need help regarding the issue. Laptop specs are as follows

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73 GHz
HDD: FUJITSU MHY2200BH 200GB
ATAPI DEVICE: MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-852S
MEMORY: TRANSCEND 2GB DDR2 667 SODIUM CL3
GRAPHICS: Intel GMA X3100
BIOS: V3.90

You can't install XP in one computer then move it to another, that is why it's crashing. The drive controller is wrong along with every other driver.

Try using an external USB CD drive to install Windows. There are some systems that are very specific about what media can be used to install Windows, one laptop I had you had to use an external disk drive but it also had to be one with a specific chip in it, not just any USB CD drive.

I had thought of using the external USB cd drive, problem is, in the bios there is no USB device for boot sequence. suppose I, by any means try to use the USB cd drive then, which USB drive should I purchase.
