i have just aquired this HP2133 but i'm having trouble with OS installation...

when i try to install XP Pro SP2 or SP3... i would get a blue screen error during installation saying that my Hp may have had virus or the newly installed devices may be damaged...

I used a USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE cable to make use of my DVD-ROM to install XP. I tried using it with my desktop and it works just fine...

I also tried using my vista starter installer and happens to have the same problem...

I used a pirated CD (just trying to) XP SP2 but its does have the same error..

I used a XP Home edition and it alomost worked fine until the system restarts for the first time... it will then say "INVALID OS"

i removed the pre-installed Linux using Active boot disk and then tried everything else (above) again... and still the same problem...

i really dont get it why...

would somebody please help?
