Blue screen installing XP Pro on B130

I just received a B130 today and am attempting to reformat and install XP Pro to it but it blue screens after copying the setup files but before the setup screen. I ordered the B130 with XP Home because I already have a non-oem copy of XP Pro and didn't want to spend another $150 for another one. The blue screen stop message is as follows:

Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF75DD0BF, 0xF7A29208, oxF7A28F08)

Pci.sys - Address F75DD0Bf base at F75D6000, Datestamp 3b7d855c

After looking around a bit it seems that this particular message can be related to problems with a cardbus. My copy of XP Pro is older so it doesn't have SP2 included, is it possible that windows is stopping because it doesn't recognize the newer hardware in the laptop? I've never had any problems like this on desktop machines with this XP cd but this is my first laptop.

I had that problem on my 8200 and it was related to the disk drive. Ended up buying a new HD Controller card just to make it work.

Well I hope it's not that serious. I ran all the Hard Disk diagnostics and found no errors.

I poked around a bit and discovered that some newer motherboards require SP2 in order to recognize pci-express graphics adapters. I'm going to try slipstreaming SP to onto a new XP install disk and see if it works. If not, and if there aren't any other suggestions I guess I'll have to contact Dell about the hard disk controller and see if they have some other diagnostic I can use to further test the disk system.

Thanks for the info moman.

Apparently not having the new device drivers on my XP Pro install disk was the problem. After putting the SP2 files onto my XP Pro disk the install is going smoothly.
