Hello everyone

Trying to install WindowsXP on my Dell Optiplex GX520. Midway through the installation process at get a blue screen with the following text:


STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}

The Session manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000026c (0x0000000 0x00000000)
The system has been shut down.

Then I tried to boot from disc and repair windows again, mid way through that, same thing happens and get a blue screen with the following text:

A problem has been dtected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer
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 be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. 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 Safe mode.

I don't know this has anything to do with the hard drive or something else hardware related. Anyone have any ideas maybe?
