Google brought me right back to all-nettools. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%*Aen-US%*Aofficial&hs=dKH&q=xp+installation+error%2Binvalid+code+error+800b0*00&btnG=Search

It seems that error usually happens whjen upgrading or when a new harddrive has been installed. Did you try a full nfts format before installing? Wish I could help more.

before you try to install it again try to find a good drive scrubber that should wipe your hard drive and if you still get the error message when reinstalling even after you have wiped it clean then have someone check out your hard drive.

Hold on, just let me check my mental database of every single error message on XP... Nope, we're gonna need more information.
