session3_initialization_failed

[Brian]

I am getting this error while trying to install XP onto a
clean hard drive. Can anyone help? It goes to a stop
error that says the following:

a problem has been detected and windows has shutdown to
prevent damage to your computer.

session3_initialization_failed

"windows suggestions to fix the issue, which dont work"

technical info.:
*** stop: 0x0000006f

the bios are set to fail-safe.

any help would be appreciated!
Brian
