go to this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24 download winxp sp3 exe follow instructions disregard for IT professionals and developers this is the download you need after installing goto windows update and download and install updates

Where did you get your drivers from? Make sure the drivers are compatible with Windows XP, Vista/7 drivers generally won't work. You can probably get the XP drivers from Toshiba's website.

Try connecting to another PC as you mentioned and format the drive as NTFS.Do a full format, not a quick format, and the drive should be in prime condition to be read by the OS installers.

check that ur hard disk shown in bios setting and select ur 1st boot able drive cd/dvd rom

me too have that problem, i updated me XP SP2 to SP3 and failed to install bluetooth, then i removed SP3 and re install bluetooth, it worked fine, as my comment, reinstall ur OS to windows XP SP2 and try.
