My first advice is a bit unrelated, but might be of eventual use; if possible, back
up what you need, and re-format your hard drive for a clean install of XP. It is
much happier overall (and more stable in my experience) on an NTFS partition than
on the FAT32 partition it will keep if you "upgrade" from a previous version of windows.
A blue screen while installing seems to indicate that one of the two disks involved
has an error; either your hard drive or your Win XP CD. If possible, check both.
Make a Win98 boot floppy, boot from it, and scandisk your hard drive. Similarly
inspect your Win XP disk. If there appears to be some kind of physical damage to
it, try and borrow someone else's for the installation.
Good Luck.
