New harddrive issue

I bought a new harddrive for my parents as they completely destroyed theirs beyond repair. I got winxp started on the install on the fresh drive, it gets about 70% done the driver install and then crashes to a blue screen. I can't get past it no matter what I do.
What could the issue be?

Post details.

Size of drive? IDE or SATA?

Can you see the progress?

Is it a hard lockup requiring power off, or can you C-A-D?

Is this a retial version of winnie does? Have you called tech support?

No it's just some hardware which doesn't have drivers in the windows installation disk. Try to pull out any non-critical hardware you think comes from some unknown brand, then try.

I got a WD 240 gb. It was cheap. I had to format it myself, it came with the utility disk to do so.

I'll try unplugging hardware first before I do anything else.
