Hey! (running win xp)

I recently got a virus that would hide my hard drives under 'my computer' so I decided to reformat and reinstall windows xp. Everytime I attempted to install Windows XP I would get a stop error (0x0000007B 0xF7C7A524 0xC0000034) right after it loaded setup files and right before the hard drive selection menu usually appears. I have tried several times and discovered that it is not my hard drive (I could install Windows XP on it in another computer). I have no other idea other than it being some other hardware problem. If anyone has any idea what I could try or knows how to help me in this situation it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
