OK I have a hard drive just formatted it and got the XP Pro boot disks and I put them in and do what it says and everything and I get all the way to boot disk 5 and it works and tells me to put 6 in and I do and then it says Please Wait... at the bottom left corner and then it just sits there and does nothing for about a minute and then I get this error:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x000000ED (0xC0000013, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
