Please HELP: XP will not install after format with Ubuntu gparted
So I originally had Win10 running on a client's Compaq laptop. It was a bit
top heavy(and very buggy) so I installed Ubuntu. Clean and VERY fast. but the client does not like it ( I have now deleted the partition using gparted and the original WinXP disc will NOT install. It does boot and starts copying files... but then the DBSOD!!! I have now tried various different levels of format, including Remake Boot Sector... but still the same Dreaded Blue Screen of Death. There are minimal options in BIOS... and the install disc installs perfectly well on another machine? What am I missing?? |

There's always just replace the HD and start from
