You didn't clarify whether the install process halted completely. You might have mistaken the XP blue install screens for a BSOD. If so persist and complete the installation following all the prompts. \n\nIf your "BSOD" screen say things like STOP 0x000000A, 0x0000002, etc. you may need to check each and every ram module to find which is faulty.\n\nI have had similar problem during reinstalls or recovery on my laptop which I finally tracked down to a faulty ram module.\n\nUse Memtest-86 to test 1 stick of ram module at a time. Download the ISO and burn to disk using your friend's pc. Memtest-86 is a DOS bootup disk from a CD or DVD drive.

unplug the printer and plug it back in.  This should soft boot the printer and get rid of any false errors.\n\nAlthough the better option would be to replace printer with HP, that way you aren't stuck paying outrageous prices for cartridges from dell.

disconnect the printer\nlet it wait for a few hours and then connect the printer again.

XP W/ SP 2 IS ACTUALLY (man, that's annoying) quite stable.  With problems like that I'd try reinstalling Windows--this'll give you a fresh install and wipe out stuff running in the background.  If same thing happens with fresh install you probably have a hardware problem.

There is a little tiny hole usually next to the eject button that you can stick a straight pin or paper clip in and it should open it for you. That's what the hole is for when the eject button won't open it.  After you get it open be sure to check it out for any foreign objects that might have got in there\n\nIf the paper clip doesn't work you will need to take your drive out of the computor. To do that open the case and there is probably two screws holding it in.  Turn the pc off before you do this. It's pretty simple to take one out. Be sure to note how you un-hook the cables so you can hook it back up.

Found some good information here, worth a try before you ditch your printer: http://www.pacificink.com/link.php?pg=cyclingtheprinter\n\nEver have blinking lights on your inkjet or laser printer that just will not go away? Ever install a new ink cartridge in your printer and it still thinks the old one is there? Well, instead of just getting angry at the printer or hunting around for your manual, you can try one simple thing: unplug it.\n\nThis technique has a few names that all mean the same thing: cycling the printer, resetting the printer or clearing the printer’s memory. Now unplugging your printer may seem like a low-tech solution to complex problems, and in reality it is. But, for problems like blinking error lights it is the only solution and also, it is typically the first one that will be recommended to you by a technician working for HP, Lexmark, Epson etc. They will recommend it right away if you install a new cartridge and it is registering as empty. If your printer isn’t registering it full, then that means it still thinks the old cartridge is in there and the memory needs to be cleared by unplugging it.\n\nThe first thing to remember about this solution is that unplugging the printer is not the same as turning the printer off. If you have error messages or cartridge communication problems, then turning off the printer is not going to do anything. It has to be physically unplugged from the wall or the back of the printer itself (you don’t have to unplug the printer from the computer). The second and most important thing is that the printer must be unplugged for at least one minute. It takes at least one minute for all the electricity to be cut off from the printer to allow it to completely reset and clear its memory. If you just unplug it for a few seconds, when it comes back on it is going to pick up right where it left off.\n\nWhile this technique will not fix every problem, it is still a very quick and easy solution to a lot of annoying printer problems and it is always the best place to start when one of those problems arises.\n\n\nYou can find more troubleshooting tips for ink cartridges and printers on our informational page.

Few things you can do.  Try to enter Win XP in safe mode then try to find out and fix the problem there.  Or re-load Windows Xp if you don't know how to do this then bring it somewhere and pay for it to be fixed.

Simply install XP on your zip drive when it ask how to format? ;-) simply type FAT 32 it will work

Open case, unplug IDE cable and power, unscrew, remove, replace, replug good to go!! If you are on a budget by a Liteon drive from Walmart...if not purchase a Plextor or NEC drive! \n\nNOTE: When you say "doesn't open" I presume you have a defective drive...if you mean that you have a blank plastic space it will pop out from inside and should have all of the mounts to put in another drive. The current IDE cable will have the connection for the slave drive and you will probably have an additional power plug inside, if not you can purchase a Power Y-Adaptor at any electronics store like Bestbuy or Radio Shack.

Ah, the wonders of Plug and Play.  I would not rely on being able to force XP to a specific IRQ - you never can be 100% sure how PnP will act.  However, I've listed a couple suggestions.  If you have already tried the following, I apologize in advance.\n\nIn the Device Manager, select the printer port, and open it's properties.  Go to the Resources tab, and uncheck the "Use autmatic settings" checkbox.  Change the "Settings based on" drop-down to "Basic configuration n".  Highlight the Interrupt Request option in the "Resource settings" list and click the Change button.  Dial-in the IRQ you prefer.  If the DMA option is provided as well, set it to 3 using the same process above.\n\nOtherwise, you may be able to force the IRQ and DMA in your system BIOS.  If your BIOS has a Plug and Play configuration section, you can sometimes "reserve" specific IRQ's and DMA's for certain PCI slots.  Please refer to your manufacturer's specifications for details as there are several different BIOS options and I am not familiar with all of them.

Try unplugging it from the wall, this will reset all errors.  If it still says the message, try opening up different areas too reseting the message.  Dell aka Lexmark has had many problems such as this one and depending how old it is trash it if can't fix problem.  The cost of fixing will be too much, buy a epson or hp.  good luck!
