Iam not able to reinstall XP on CQ60-104TU model labtop. If i tried to install, it shows an error message in blue screen to check other newly installed hardware......

If you recently made any hardware upgrades check that the hardware is fully compatible with your machine.If nothing like that has been done, reboot the pc in safe mode by pressing F5. Some machines are F8. Check your programs and features for any newly installed software or updates. Remove any conflicting software or updates and restart the pc normally.

Hi there,
We wish you a Happy New Year.
If you have the original CD use it,it's genuine windows. But what you get online is pirated.

This issue might be due to system file corrupted.
You will face this issue again if this restore successfull.
You can fix this issue by reinstalling the OS(Windows XP)

Formating the C drive and reinstalling the XP will resolve this issue permanently.

Do you have the right drivers?

Try this solution:

go to the bios setup and disable the sata support in one of the inside options there and then make sure your hard disk is detected properly and then try again it will work.

That is called the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).
try a chkdsk:


Chkdsk
Take the Windows XP disk. Boot from it, then DO NOT select F2 (automated system recovery) but continue through the procedure until you get to the point where you can choose between installing Windows XP and entering the Recovery Console. Once you get into the Recovery Console, do chkdsk and fix potential errors on your disks! Type Chkdsk C: /R at the prompt.

Or try a XP repair:

XP repair
When you boot with the Win XP install CD-ROM, it loads a minimal operating system, similar to DOS, but compatible with Win XP. At the first screen you select install Win XP (not Recovery Console) and at the next screen it will find that you already have Win XP and offer to attempt a repair. This repair should not touch your Applications or data; it just reinstalls the Windows files. This is great because when it works you don't need to reinstall all your software.


If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
