my laptop has stopped working.

i've got an Eee PC S101 running XP and i can't get it to boot. when i choose "disable automatic restart" from the black screen, i get the blue screen saying "multiple IRP complete requests" plus:

check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed [there was not new soft/hardware, and i can't check]. if this is a new installation, [it's not]... Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing [how? i don't see memory anywhere in BIOS screens]. if you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart, press F8 to select Adv. Startup options, and then select safe mode.

stop: 0x00000044 (0x865C7E70, 0x000000D64, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

i just want to wipe this and reinstall XP, but i can't get it to recognize or boot from the CD. i tried all 3 USB ports. what do i do?

newbie in way over my head.

I'm assumeing you have external cd-rom, you have to go into your bios setting and in the boot settings tell it boot to "usb drive first"
