SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

I bought all new computer part and assembled together, when I wanted to install window xp, it will go to this BSOD screen,SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.I tried check google, but cant find any solution

spec:
asrock conroe 945GC
e2160
kingston 1gb 667mhz
wd 160gb

 

could be incompatibility with something.

could also be defective hard drive.

 

probably u might want to read this, they fix it.. it's something to do with the driver

If it is a blue screen on death message, the cause might be that your BIOS is set as running SATA HDD as RAID, try setting the SATA options to IDE or install the RAID SATA driver via floppy disk at the 1st install screen

 

thanks, I found out what is the problem, the Window XP installation CD has too many scratches.

 

I got an pretty old Compaq EVO.
Had the same problem after crash of unique harddisk.
Installed a brand new ATA/SATA Hard Drive, 160 Gb.

Problem corrected by changing the Harddisk transfer mode option: was set to UDMA, changed to Ultra DMA 0.

 

Agreement on UDMA mode

I also had this problem and changing to UDMA0 fixed it for me.

Hope this helps someone else, I searched for over an hour trying different things, and that one post was the KEY to my evening!
