well  i cant for one this happens on install of xp ,,the pc has no OS ..i think the ram went bad

thanks for the help

Since you provided zero information in your first post it's difficult to know exactly what the problem is. The more detail you provide, the better we can assist.

1) Is this an attempt to do a brand new, clean install (are you booting to the XP CD and trying to format first)?

2) At EXACTLY what point do you get the error?

3) WHY are you doing a new install?

4) Are you using an original, retail XP cd?

If you think it's ram, here's how to check:
download memtest (http://memtest.org/). Burn it to a cd using a dedicated .iso burning utility (http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm), make sure the cd drive is at the top of the boot order in bios, then boot to the newly created cd and run the utility.

I use photo bucket all the time.  You should be able to just copy and paste the picture  like so.    Copy the image code and just paste to your post don't use the"insert image"

If it is generating the same BSOD during installation as it was before you formatted, it's a hardware problem. Could be ram, hd, mobo, cpu, or anything at this point.

thanks guys..it was ram(got new ram) ..but now after i did a fresh install i now get it  restarting  on its own ...with a BSOD  this was in the last line    ndis.sys  ....i cant even download updates on it(note i am on a different pc) i did use a flash drive to up  the chip set and some other drivers  off the hp site

pc with the problem is

hp pavilion a1630n
windows media center  sp2

ndis.sys BSODs are usually related to a bad NIC. Try disabling your network interface. If it boots in safemode with no problems then it is likely that this is the problem.

[krytos2004]

ok so  i got a on bored nic card and one i am about to  put in ..how do i disable the on bored one

hp pavilion a1630n 

[krytos2004]

ok so  now i updated the nic card disable the on bored one  and still have the restart prob but runs good in safe mode with networking  ugh i don't get it

Good evening krytos2004

With all the helpful you have received so far this may help you as well.

If you have not done so yet I would uninstall the NIC driver for the on-board NIC and I would also disable the on-board nic in the BIOS not just in windows. To navigate thru the BIOS this is from HP for your PC http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07110&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00007682/en_us/bph07110/loc:1&cc=us&dlc=zh-hans&lang=zh-hans&lc=en&product=3245027#N1033
If the old / bad driver is there it still can cause you an issue.

Now for the atapi.sys error you very well may have 1 of 2 things that may be the issue.
#1... The CD may have scratches or imperfections on the windows disc. You can have a bad windows disc even if it is retailed.
#2... The CD drive may be bad also. If the CD drive is bad it will not cashe all the files correctly during the windows set up so you can and will get odd messages / errors or increased installation time etc. 

Please let us know how you make out, Mike

Does the BSOD always say ndis.sys or is it sometimes different? I know you mentioned atapi earlier, but that was resolved, correct?

[krytos2004]

well now no  BSOD show up .just a restart  ..

[jason2074]

You would generate the specific or other error codes the next time it restarts by disabling auto restart -> http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/ht/disautorestart.htm copy-paste the caused driver and error codes on your next reply.
