I've gone back into the BIOS and changed settings I previously had to modify in order to get the system to even boot, but going back only prevents the unit from booting again, so I have to return them to what I had previously used. Every time it gets to that point, I get the Blue Screen Of Death. Nothing I have tried can get past the point where about half of the Windows files are loaded and about "35 minutes remain" on the install screen. When I try the Win7 CD, I get a box that says I have to insert the XP CD to proceed. I tried to use my Win7 installation CD, but the existing XP will not allow it. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a drive failure. There doesn't seem to be any BIOS memory options to change, as suggested by the error page. The new hard drive is installed the only way it can be, and I have removed and reinstalled it, to check connections. The options then are to check the hardware and software installation. Also did a clean install of XP, by reformatting the drive. Tried to install XP with the Recover function, but to no avail. I have tried to restart from that point, but it continues to stop and give the same message. The error message is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Went through the install up to "Setup will complete in approximately: 39 minutes." After that, the install plugs along until the Blue Screen of Death. Got things changed in the BIOS so I could install Windows XP. Got your reply and saw some from Joan Delgado and Sean Fontenot that helped also.
