    1. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer. To do this, right-click Start, and then click Explore.
    2. Create a new folder at the root of a hard disk volume, and then name it "Flatfile" (for example, C:\Flatfile).

Explorer.exe Application error in Windows XP Professional SP2

This could be a memory problem or a problem with the OS (XP). If you can boot the original XP CD like your doing an install then it's not a memory problem more the likely. Can you boot your XP CD?

Installing operating system

You are getting this error because you have formatted the harddrive and now your computer cannot find your old copy of Windows.
To install the new copy you have to put the Windows disk in the CD or DVD drawer and restart the computer, when the compter starts (before the no operating system window) you should have options to Enter SetUp. You need to press the appropriate "F" key to enter set up or boot order and tell the machine to boot from the CD.
As it is now your machine is trying to start from the harddrive and its not finding anything, you need it to start from the cd drive so that it can install windows.
