This error appears to be related to boot devices, such as Hard Drives.
Burn the drives for your drive to CD, and have it ready when you try to install XP. During the installation process, you will notice there is a point where XP asks you to press "F6" if you need to install drivers that are not included in the XP Installation disk. It will ask for the CD, and it should find the drivers.
