I am attempting to reload XP Home on a new disk 120 gig Western Digital
following a hard disk failure. The XP version is 2002 (an early issue).
At first attempt have received the blue shutdown screen 'to prevent damage'
as it was about to format the disk.
Errors were:
STOP: 0x000000 8E(0xC0000005, 0xF77C4C0B, 0xF73D5800, 0x00000000
setupdd.sys - address F77C4C0b base at F779B000, DateStamp 3b7d8507
Rather than try again and perhaps damage the new hard drive, I would welcome
any advice.
It looks to me that I must have something else defective in the box as this
is a repeated problem.
Could the motherboard be defective, or perhaps another component?

Mostly this error is Hardware problem, try to check the RAM sticks and clean
the Installation CD ( make sure it is not dirty) or you can borrow another
one similar to your (OEM or Full Retail) and try the installation.

This is likely caused by hardware malfunctioning or bad driver.
Try to look in the Device Manager for the CD/DVD-ROM and see if it
malfunctioning or a Bad RAM, also USB storage.
Here are lots of Causes and solutions:

HTH.

Thanks Nass - I will try some of the things you suggest to see if that cures
the problem.

Cannot run some of the processes, as I have not yet loaded the OP on the disk.
 
Just to report that I seem to have solved the problem. I identified the KMV
switch I was using as causing the difficulty. Now removed and clean
installation successfully achieved.

Incidentally I tried some of the suggestions including the use of a
different disk for Windows XP OP reload. This caused endless problems at
registration of the software. Microsoft had to give up on changing the
licence code. Solution was a further clean installation.

Thanks again for the help.
