i am currently running windows 2000 pro.
i can install windows vista but it runs to slow for me and i dont really like vista.
but when i run the installation to XP, after fomating HD and copying the installation files, when 34 minutes or left in installing and its installing the Devices i get the blue screen that says:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000001, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000001)

my advice is to try cleaning your installation cd. If the cd is scratched or dirty it will give you problems during installation. If that doesn't work, maybe you can try using a different cd rom to install windows. Some cd-roms have more power to read weak cd's.

Since you where able to install vista with no problems, I think the xp cd itself, is the problem.

Time to do some reading. Also, not a lot of ram to be running XP

I've run windows xp pro for years with 256mb of ram with no problem. But that could also be a problem if the ram is bad, you can move it to a different slot and try reinstalling.
