So I got this laptop from my brother - he thought it was broken since whenever he started up the computer it would immediately restart before Vista's bootloader was fully done.
So I got it, and upon seeing that it was bluescreening, I attended to reinstalling the OS as Windows XP.
I did a quick format, install went well.
Upon restarting the laptop to try to boot into Windows XP, however, there's a blue screen that says
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
STOP 0x000000ED (0x89386900, 0xc000009c, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Is the hard drive fried or something?
I'd imagine it wouldn't let me install Windows XP if that was the problem, though.'
EDIT: I just went ahead and got a new SATA hard drive for my laptop.
It works great now. :D
