Bluescreen after XP install via USB

[seb500]

Hey

Last night I tried installing Windows XP (Service Pack 3) onto a netbook using a USB stick. The install went well, although there was a message about windows not recognising software (cant remember what), but I carried on anyway. When it was all done, I rebooted and waited for it to load up, but when it hit the windows logo (with the loading bar), it blue screened and restarted itself, which it continued to do.

Does anyone have any idea why? or a better method than the one I used (see below).

How I did it

1) Downloaded Flashboot
2) Ran the program
3) CD > USB (Convert bootable CD/DVD disk to bootable USB device)
4) Specified source: CD/DVD disk (LEGIT COPY OF XP-SP3)
5) Convert Windows XP/2000 installation CD
6) Specified USB target: my 2GB Kingston Datatraveler
7) Volume Label: Kingston/File System: auto
8) Pressed format now and waited

Once that was all done, I continued to boot from the USB and installed XP.

Regards, Seb - Thanks in advance

I think it's to do with the USBsys drivers. They will be borked.

Can you boot into recovery mode from the USB stick?

Ill try now.

btw; the error I encounter when installing is "the software you are installing for this hardware: "intel (r) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI controller" has not passed windows logo testing to verify its compatibility with windows xp"

When I press yes, to continue, I get a browsing window with this: "the file "iaStor.sys" on intel matrix storage manager driver is needed"


any ideas?
