Getting Several Errors Trying To Install Windows Xp On Dell Precision 390

I have a Dell Precision 390 which I had installed Vista on it but the person taking it requested XP Pro. It has a Intel Core Duo 2.66 GHz. I have attempted to install XP with 3 different CDs including an official Dell Installation Disc, I have tried two different SSDs that were freshly wiped, and I have tried 4 different RAM sticks. I install XP regularly on old machines and have never had these errors. I even tried a regular HDD and it gave yet the fifth different error.

I have gotten the following errors on the blue Windows Setup Screen at different attempts. Every single time it is a different error.

File PartMgr.sys caused an unexpected error (47872) at line 5964
file /i386/ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded
the file ohci1394.sys is corrupted
the file adpu160m.sys is corrupted
File sparrow.sys caused an unexpected error (47872) at line 3540

Any ideas? I am assuming it has to be a bios issue considering the disc and RAM iisn't the issue. From everything I have read, this machine can run XP fine. Everything tested fine in diagnostics when it had Vista.

 

I'll help if the machine is air gapped, and used for nostalgic puroposes offline. How did you use an SSD? SATA connection?

What is your choice of SSD? SATA controllers for later models will not be compatible with an older OS in many cases.

 

I am not going to be using it but the user wants to run some kind of architecture software so I doubt they will be running it online.

I have tried three SSDs, one was a Toshina, another a Kingston and another some generic brand. I have refurbished probably 30 machines with XP using SSDs without any issue. It installs and runs great on every single one and most are older and less powerful than this PC. One of my installation disc does have the SATA drivers but this machine is all SATA so I doubt that is the issue.

 

I got it figured out. The storage controller was set to ACHI instead of ATA.
