Fatal Error when trying to install windows

I keep getting a fatal error when trying to install windows on my computer. I have a Compaq Presario 7000 That was running WindowsME and it became corupt so I decided I would install windows Xp. Well while Im installing software’drivers it keeps popin up windows of my hardware like my IDE ports and modem or Network card as not being logoed by microsoft and erging me to not continue with the install. I click mthrough those windows and then the error pops up. Any Ideas on what I can do???
