The 303 error would indicate a failing Hard Drive, but try the following first and then re-run the HDD test - if it still fails, it would look like you'll need to replace the drive.

Click the Start Menu, click Computer, left click Local Disc C once to highlight it, right click Local Disc C and select Properties. Click the Tools tab and then click the button to 'Check the Drive for Errors'. In the following window make sure both boxes are ticked and then click Start. Part of this process will require a restart to check the drive.

Is the error message coming before bios starts to load XP from harddisk, or after?

If it is coming after XP starts then it may be driver issue.

If it is coming before XP, then it may be a question of incorrect bios for the hardware in your laptop.

This is a Vista laptop with a SATA hard drive. Windows XP does not have the SATA drivers, you therefore must slipstream the drivers to a new installation disk

Diagnostic log in bios return my 0303 error code. I've got a Q presario CQ60. Ty!

Is your computer still under warranty? If so, I would definitely contact HP regarding this error, which is what HP recommends in thier knowledgebase article. Resetting the BIOS shouldn't cause any information on your machine to be lost, however it's generally best to have the BIOS updated to the newest available.

Hi there! Yesterday I was installing Windows XP

Sorry to hear your having issues installing the OS.

There is two problems your facing one is the disk is so scratched that the system can not read the disk or the hard drive has bad sectors or clusters which are failing when being written to.

You have two options to fix this one is to make sure the cd is clean an or replace your hard drive.

General disk read error message tend to be from hard drive cylinder's.
