HP Workstation STOP error while installing XP
Thursday 3rd April 2008 11:17 AM
The HP Compaq workstations come pre-installed with OS and also a system restore partition, however, there are times when you would like to Re-install from scratch or replace the OS with another.
When booting from a Windows XP OEM CD for reinstalling you may find that you are quickly presented with the Blue Screen Of Death STOP error, stating that the ' A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to rpevent damage to your computer '
You may go running for your backup memory but this isn;t the issue.
Reboot the PC and hit F10 during boot to go to the CMOS setup pages.
Go to STORAGE and then STORAGE OPTIONS.
Go to SATA Emulation and you should find it is set to the default of RAID+AHCI.
Change this to SEPERATE IDE CONTROLLER but don't change any thing else, then save your settings and exit.
During your first boot you may get a message that the configuration has changed, simply hit F1 past this and it will reboot again.
Pop in your boot CD and start installing your OS....
