K-Cike,

few questions: after you select XP, do you only see this Error-11 ?!?
and:
in what type of screen?!? (blue with white text?)

Is XP partly loading or not at all?!?
Can you go to Safe-Mode (do not wait between these 4 things:)

 choose XP <Enter> <F8> <F8> (few times)

Is this giving the Windows-menu where you can choose to run Safe-Mode?!?
