I'm trying to reload Windows XP on my MBP & I can't get the installation to go into the setup. I've partitioned the disk at a number of sizes from 10GB to 20GB (and I have over 5GB remaining on the Mac HD), but it always gets stuck at the same place. I've disconnected everything including disabling the bluetooth mouse & keyboard. Windows goes through the loading of the setup files and then proceeds to "setup is starting Windows" where it produces a blue screen with "Problem detected & Windows is shutting down....". The error message is "SESSION3_INTIALIZATION_FAILED" and at the end it has *** STOP: 0x0000006F (0x00000002 etc. I seriously regret uninstalling Windows from this machine last week, as it was working fine. Also, the Windows disk is fine.

Appreciate any help that you can give me.
