Hi D C,
Please follow the steps as suggested at : http://kb.parallels.com/4729 to install Windows XP in your Parallels Desktop.
In step no : 4, please uncheck the option : Express installation and check if you are able to install Windows XP in your Parallels Desktop.
If you are still facing issues in installing Windows XP after disabling the option : Express installation in step no : 4, please try with a different installation media
for Windows XP SP 1 and that should help you to resolve the issue.

I have had exactly the same experience. Followed above instructions with same blue screen results. Your system will not upload the screen shot ("too large".)

UPdate: someone pointed out (asserted?) that an OEM copy of XP will be tied to the original machine and can't be used to load XP onto a different machine.

Click to expand...
However, this will not cause a blue screen, technically what can happen is the failure to activate Windows.

Hi All,
In order to check with the issue while installing Windows XP , please stop the installation of Windows XP.
Restart the installation of Windows XP as in the KB article http://kb.parallels.com/4729 , at step 6, please enable "Customize settings before installation"
Then click on Continue and select Hardware --> CPU & Memory --> Under CPU , choose "1". Close the Window.
And continue with the installation and check how it works!
