I've done this twice since the problems started, and I keep getting the error message. I know it can't be anything the recovery disc is loading on, as I've never had this problem before. Would there be anything residing on the hard-disc, and avoiding the format, that would be causing the problem?
Or would it be a problem with the BIOS, something that changed recently with the install of the Windows updates, and that is making the system crash at random moments.
I had it crash four times last night, twice while I was just sitting there installing my anti-virus, once when I opened a new IE window, and once when I opened Windows Messenger.

have u changed the bios settings, windows install can't touch bios settings?
if u r xp disk fully installs and try uising an older set of drivers
like i said this can be a real bitch to fix
thr main things the cause this error are
1)bad memory stick
2)bad/wrong driver incorrectly installed etc
3)system file corruption
are u sure your disk is a full xp disk?
