Getting blue screen of death following Windows logo after a failed Windows XP install with a new Western Digital blue hard drive.
 
Solution
I'm not sure how its booting to the windows logo if the XP install failed.
What error did XP install give you?

Aslo list your systems specs so we can make sure you don't need a pre-installation driver.
Hi there jstarvetsky,

That is really unpleasant. 🙁

I assume that you have no data stored on the drive.

It would be nice if you just start with double checking the connections. You can attach the drive with different cables(both SATA and power ones) to another SATA port.
In case the issue persists, you can try to reinstall Windows.
If this does not help as well, you can take the drive out, attach it to another system as a secondary drive(either externally via SATA to USB cable + power cord or internally through SATA) and test it with WD's Data Liveguard Diagnostic tool(both short and extended tests): http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=ZSH8yf

Let us know how this goes,
