Hi, liquidsmoke

Why don't you just perform recovery install procedure from Dell?

To downgrade, you need:
- Installation media,
- Valid license key
- Drivers

You get the blue screen because you did not supply mass storage driver
during initial boot from the Windows XP installation media. You should have
pressed F6 key during boot and supplied mass storage driver on a diskette.

I don't pay attention to anyone who starts a post with "ok."

Then just what, precisely, makes you think that you have a virus?

Well, I don't think anyone has ever heard of a "*** Stop BLAH BLAH
BLAH" error before. To put it in the simplest possible terms: "Error
messages are you friends; they tell you what is wrong." You, however,
have decided to keep this key information a secret, and yet expect us to
magically be able to help?

No one can help if you don't provide at least a modicum of
pertinent information.
