My computer was working fine for months but now when it starts up the Windows XP screen comes up to show the computer is starting up but then a blue screen appears with the error below:

BAD_POOL_CALLER

STOP: 0x000000C2 (0x00000043, 0xDB3C6000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I have tried booting off the Windows XP CD and trying to do a re-installation but when the setup try's to query the disk the setup crashes and exists.

I've run diags and that says everything is fine.

Any ideas?
