Sounds like you got a defective CD. Try installing from another copy of windows XP.

There are a few causes of this:

1. The CD may be dirty or scratched.

2. Could be Hardware incompatibility issues.

I had a similar problem, and solved it by doing a low level format on the Harddrive. Once that was done, and the drive re-partitioned, XP installed fine.

Hope you get it sorted out, and welcome to the Forum.

I just bought a new ecs p4 motherboard with an intel celeron 2.7 ghz cpu and when i try to install winxp pro it says
file \i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded the error code is 7
i have switched the ram i have switched hard drives im using a spectek 256 mb pc2700 ddr dimm with a western digital 40gb hard drive. I have low level formated the HD i have switched video cards am using an nvidia tnt2 32mb agp card i have a store bought licensed copy of xp pro but also have 3 other copies of xp they all say the same thing. 98se wont even install. The only thing that will work is if i go into the bios and disable the cpu L1 & L2 cache then it works but its slow as hell. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS COULD BE????????

You probably have hardware thats not compatible with XP. This should help you.

I posted this earlier, but it gave me errors...

Have you checked the memory to make sure it hasn't gone bad?
