Having built a PC for my son (first attempt), I am having
difficulty loading WIndows XP onto the system.

Booting from the CD, It goes so far before I get the
following message about 2 minutes into the whole process:

"A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to
prevent damage to your computer

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error
screen, restart your computer. If the screen appears
again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure that any new hardware or soft ware is
properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask
your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows
you might need.

If problems persist, disable or remove any newly
installed hardware or software..... (it goes on a bit
here with advice about removing devices, which I've done)

Technical information

***STOP:0x0000007F (0x0000000A, 0x00000000, 0x00000000,
0x00000000)"

I've followed most of the instructions except for
updating drivers which I wouldn't know how to do if there
is no OS on the hard drive! Help
