windows xp help
ok i am trying to fix a friends laptop that had a bad hdd. i got a new hdd and need to insall windows xp on it. I originally tried to install it via flash drive, because the laptop is an acer asprire one, with no cd-rom drive. I did that, but during the install, it skipped a bunch of steps and when it was done, i had nothing at all, no wifi, or anything on my desktop. So now i am trying to burn a bootable disc and install it that way. the way i am doing this is by hooking the hdd to my desktop computer and installing it via the bootable disc. whenever i try and do it, i get a screen that looks like this......

i thought that maybe something was wrong with the copy of xp that i had, so i got another copy of xp and got the same thing. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? The hdd i am using is for a laptop, and i have it hooked to my desktop, if that matters at all.
