Unable to install xp pro

[mopy]

Hi There.
This is very strange to me any how.
My daughter has bought a pacdard bell lap top in france evering is in french and is windows 7.
So she has bought a genuine xp pro windows disc.
When i try to install it it loads files and get to the load windows when i get blue screen and error mess
Stop: 0x0000007b(0xf78e2640,0x0000034,0x00000000.0x00000000)
Any thoughts?
Thanks for anything Kevin.

Do you have the sata driver(s)?

We just have the windows xp install disc. Do not know what sata driver(s) are?

Firstly let me thank you both for your replys but now i am more confused.
The link to Microsoft well that just lost me. we do not have backup computer at all!
What we have is a new but French laptop with win 7 installed and a new xp pro cd.
I gather from what i have read that there may be missing drivers in the mother board is this correct and if so
how can this be corrected.
Thanks Kevin.

You'll have to get them from Packard Bell.  Maybe you can get the original CD from them if you supply them your serial number.  Packard Bell is no longer sold in North America.

I've never seen one blue screen before installation started before. How are you going about installing? How far do you get? 

You should check packard bell's website to make sure that they have XP drivers for that computer before installing. If they don't have drivers for XP then you'll probably be stuck with win7.

All sorted now.
