Hello everyone,
My computer was running slow and had some viruses on it so I wanted to reinstall windows xp pro onto the machine.
I tried to reinstall windows and overwrite the partition but the install failed. I got a copy of the windows xp pro dell oem on made my usb device bootable. The computer boots up from the usb device fine, and windows tries to install. After awhile it goes to the bsod. I have my hard drive bios settings to Raid Autodetect/ATA, which seems to fix other people who have a similar bsod to mine.
I used nlite to slipstream the sata drivers onto the os iso and i got the same bsod.
the steps i used to make this iso was on page 334 of this guide, http://philipyip.wordpress.com/dell-community-forums/
any response is helpful and thankful.
