    Hello all,

    I'm working on my friends laptop (model mentioned above). He does not have the eRecovery CD so I'm unable to restore the machine back to factory. I tried loading XP Pro (Volume License) before and after disabling D2D in the BIOS and wiping the HDD.
    Once the installation begins, the machine begins to install the necessary files normally, I reach the "Starting Windows" prompt then the machine crashes to the following error(s):

    Technical information:
    *** STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005,0XF854A0BF,0XF8996208,0XF8995F08)
    pci.sys - Address F854A0BF base at F8543000, Datestamp 3b7d855c ***

    No additional hardware is attached to the machine during install, It has the default hardware installed. The same Volume License install disk worked fine on an Aspire 3000 model, Dell, Gateway and (2) custom builds.
    Any help is very appreciated.
