The Following error occurs when installing windows xp.
The error follows with blue screen.
Help !!!
stop:0x0000000a(0x0a27000f,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x8081c63c)

The Error Format is :

Stop: 0x0000000A (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)

where ;

Parameter 1 - An address that was referenced incorrectly.
Parameter 2 - An IRQL that was required to access the memory.

Parameter 3 - The type of access, where 0 is a read operation and 1 is a write operation.
Parameter 4 - The address of the instruction that referenced memory in parameter 1


This Stop error message usually occurs during installation when there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process internal request level (IRQL). Typically, this error occurs when a driver uses an incorrect memory address. Other possible causes of this error include an incompatible device driver, a general hardware problem, or incompatible software.

Method 1: Specify the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)

Use this method first to try to resolve the Stop error message.

1. During the installation startup, press F5 when the "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration" message is displayed.
   
2. When you are prompted, make sure that you specify the correct computer type and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). For example, if you have a single processor, specify the "Standard PC" HAL.
   
3. Try to reinstall Windows XP.
   
   
   
   • If this resolves the Stop error message and you successfully install Windows XP, you are finished.
     
   • If this does not resolve the Stop error message, go to method 2
     

Method 2: Turn off features in CMOS settings


Use this method when method 1 does not resolve the Stop error message.

1. Turn off all the following features in the CMOS settings of your computer. For instructions, see the hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer.
   
   
   
   • All caching, including L2, BIOS, internal/external, and writeback caching on disk controllers
     
   • All shadowing
     
   • Plug and Play
     
   • Any BIOS-based virus protection feature
     

Try to reinstall Windows XP.

• If this resolves the Stop error message, go to step c.
  
• If this does not resolve the Stop error message, go to method 3.
  

Try to isolate which feature is causing the error. To do this, re-enable each of these features one at a time, and then restart your computer after you re-enable each feature.

If you identify a problem feature, disable or remove it and contact the manufacturer to try to resolve the issue.

If this does not isolate a problem with a CMOS setting, but this does resolve the Stop error message and you can start your computer normally, it may be that a setting was preventing the installation. If this is the case, turn on the setting after you install Windows XP, you are finished.

Method 3: Check the computer RAM



Use this method when method 2 does not resolve the Stop error message. If you need help performing any of the following steps, see the hardware documentation.

1. Remove any mismatched memory SIMMs (the RAM) so that all the SIMMs operate at the same speed. For example, 60 nanoseconds (ns) or 70 ns.
   
2. Run a systems test on the memory, and remove any bad SIMMs.
   
3. Test by using different SIMMs if any are available.
   
4. Try to reinstall Windows XP.
   
   
   
   • If this resolves the Stop error message and you successfully install Windows XP, you are finished.
     
   • If this does not resolve the Stop error message, go to method 4.
     

Method 4: Remove any adapters and disconnect any hardware devices


Use this method when method 3 does not resolve the Stop error message.

1. Remove all adapters and disconnect all hardware devices that are not required to start the computer or to install Windows. This includes the following adapters and devices:
   
   
   
   • SCSI devices
     
   • IDE devices
     
   • Network adapter
     
   • Internal modem
     
   • Sound card
     
   • Extra hard disks (you have to have at least one to complete the installation)
     
   • CD drive or DVD drive (if you are installing from the local hard disk
     

Try to reinstall Windows XP.

• If this resolves the Stop error message, continue to step c.
  
• If this does not resolve the Stop error message, go to method 5.
  

Try to isolate which adapter or hardware device is causing the error. After you reinstall Windows XP, reconnect each adapter or hardware device one at a time. Restart your computer after you reconnect each.

If this isolates a problem with hardware, disconnect the adapter or device and contact the vendor to try to resolve the issue.

If this does not isolate a problem with hardware, but this does resolve the Stop error message and you can start your computer normally, it may be that some hardware was preventing the installation. If this is the case, reconnect the hardware after you install Windows XP, and then you are finished.

Method 5: Redefine IDE settings and remove any IDE devices


Use this method when method 5 does not resolve the Stop error message. If you need help performing any of the following steps, see the hardware documentation.

1. Define the on-board IDE port to Primary only.
   
2. Verify that the Master/Subordinate/Only settings for the IDE devices are correct.
   
3. Remove all IDE devices except for the hard disk.
   
4. Try to reinstall Windows XP.
   
   
   
   • If this resolves the Stop error message, continue to step e.
     
   • If this does not resolve the Stop error message, go to method 7.
     

Try to isolate which IDE setting or device is causing the error. After you reinstall Windows XP, reconnect each IDE device one at a time. Restart your computer after you reconnect each.

If this isolates a problem setting or device, disable the setting or disconnect the IDE device and contact the vendor to try to resolve the issue.

If this does not isolate a problem with an IDE setting or device, but this does resolve the Stop error message and you can start your computer normally, it may be that a setting or device was preventing the installation. If this is the case, re-enable the setting or reconnect the device after you install Windows XP, and then you are finished.

Method 6: Check with the manufacturer for known issues



Use this method as a last resort when all other methods to try to isolate and resolve the issue do not work.

1. Contact the manufacturer of the computer or the motherboard to see whether there are any known issues about running or installing Windows XP. The manufacturer may be able to help with the following steps:
   
   
   
   • Run a diagnostics program on the computer.
     
   • Upgrade the computer BIOS if that is applicable.
     

Try to reinstall Windows XP.

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

*** STOP: 0x0000000A(0x0A27000F,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x8081c63c)

PROBABLE SOLUTION

One of the cause is due to insufficient space available in the drive in which os is going to be installed..
OR
there might be bad sector in your hard drive which corrupts the pointer of os.

so first get old version of os such as win 98, win 2000 because these have less data
so might be installed installed easily.. if installation succed then format the drive in which u want to install .. now u install can install with new version of OS.

if this didnt worked..

use the concept of master-slave to ur hard drive and format the drive c:\ .and now connect the hard disk as it was before.. and install the OS.

i hope it works..

Thanks to 'kecbunker' !!

hey guy . i tried that but it didnt worked..

i would like to remind u that such type of problem occurs due to many problems and leads to corruption of OS pointer..

i am innocent about this topic

Oh Bro, What is that OS pointer? I havent heard such new technical word.
