Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen!

Hello

I need to reinstall my OS so I removed the HD from my fairly new HP Pavilion
and attached it my notebook via an external USB enclosure. I then combined
several existing partitions using Norton Partition Magic. Tested for surface
errors, unhid the drive, formatted it and reinstalled it in the Pavilion.
Using an original XP disk, no SP I attempted to install the OS. Just after
all drivers, etc are loaded the screen turns blue with a halt error
specifying pci.sys.

I have removed every PCI component including memory and tried again with the
same results. I am looking for instructions for 2 things. First to solve the
problem, can I remove the HD, attach it to my notebook, install the OS and
then install the disk in the Pavilion? Failing that, what else should I do?

Thanks

Doonie
