From what it looks like, it seems like it's a bad disc. Try a new XP disc and see of that helps. If you do not have one, you can find ISO's online if you know where to look. If you do not know how to look for this without resorting to torrents just buy a new disc.

If this does not do it, it's something else. Try running Memtest on the system and see if the memory comes up with anything over a 24 hour window. If nothing does, it's the hard drive or DVD drive, or simply caused by a bad SATA cable.

That said, unless you know where to look the risk of a bad disc is high so you may be better off buying a replacment set of media.

From the details I can scrap from this, it sounds like either a DVD drive issue(doesn't like it/bad drive) or the XP CD is no good.

Try a different CD first. If not, make one. There are clean ISO's all over the Internet for XP if you look around. If you don't know how, buy a copy on eBay for 10.00.

Should 2 XP discs not work, try a new DVD drive. It could be failing or it doesn't like this CD. Either way, try a new drive. Worst case that does nothing, new SATA cables.

Sounds like you have a bad Windows XP CD or the CD drive doesn't like your copy of XP

Try a different XP CD and see what happens;if it works you're home free

If it doesn't, try a new DVD drive and see what happens;if that works, the old drive is flaky, if not it may very well be the SATA cables, which I would change next if the DVD drive or CD doesn't fix it
