You need to post a more complete and accurate copy of the Stop Error
report.
Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing the F8
key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on
system failure. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure.
Check for variants of the Stop Error message.
What is your computer make and model?
What exactly do you have by way of a Windows XP CD?
Try booting with only keyboard, mouse and monitor connected.
Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?
