Clean windows install

I've loaded Window xp/ vista multiple times in the past. This time around i'm trying to reload Windows Xp.

I'm able to format hd then load windows on hd, but then when prompt to restart. Next boot up i get blue screen "Bios not fully compliant ACPI"

I have ACPI enabled in bios and if i disable it and reboot it just hangs and screen is just black.

any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with this. It was working in vista and when you switched back to xp it didnt right or has it worked in xp before? Try reflashing the bios.
