I have a HP nx6125 laptop that had a 80GB hard drive in it. I got a WD3200BEVE drive to replace it (320GB). When I first installed it, I installed Windows 7 to see how it would go. It had some driver problems so I decided to go with XP (which is what I've always run on the laptop). Keeping in mind the Windows 7 ran ok for several hours, I am having a problem getting XP to run on it. I tried installing from the CD and half way through the laptop powers off. I tried restoring a disk image and during the restore, it powers off. I reinstalled Windows 7, just as a test, and it worked ok.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do specifically with XP, because during the restore, XP isn't running. I wouldn't think it's a problem with the BIOS because it works with Windows 7.
Any ideas on what is causing it to power off when trying to get XP installed?
