How exactly are you trying to reinstall XP? Are you booting from the XP CD?

I would expect that error to show up after XP is installed when trying to

boot, not during the process of installation. So are you not giving us all

the details?

 

http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED

 

Have you tested the hard drive with a drive diagnostic utility from the

drive manufacturer's web site?

It's showing up during the installation from the CD as far as I can make

out. I don't know what HD is installed. We have no documentation as a

neighbour sold it to us.

Is it a commercial/OEM PC ? ( Gateway, HP, Dell ) if so you can

locate it's unique Service Tag # and use that on the vendor's web

site to get it's original factory configuration. The information should

be on the back of a desktop or on the bottom of a notebook. All

OEM PCs are required to place the Windows COA ( Certificate

of Authenticity ) on the physical case. This will have your product

key for installing XP.

 

If not a major OEM PC ( But an independent shop built PC) did

your neighbor provide the original disks/documentation ? Instead

of a repair or in-place upgrade you really need to restore it to it's

factory condition. ALL OEMs are required to provide a means of

restoring a PC to it's original/delivered state.

Open the case and look, or use the Seagate Seatools. You can also try

HDtune. It could be a variety of problems: the CD, the CD drive, the

motherboard, the hard drive, etc.

I have had dirty, scratched or defective CDs do that, as well as dirty CD

players.

If you eliminate all of those, then check the HDD.

One of the easiest tools is the bootable CD from

http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

It has HDD tools, a memory tester, AV, etc.
