1. Insert OS install disk
2. Restart/boot to install disk
3. During install, there should be an option to reformat the partition you are installing to. Where this option appears depends on which version of Windows you are installing. As I recall, you are installing XP. It's been along time since I installed XP, but Here's a guide that looks pretty good to me, & explains it better than I can.
Finally, I managed to properly install the OS.
Now, I installed the graphics driver and i receive the following errors:
Forgot to mention; updating the graphics driver is useless, cuz i'm receiving the same errors.
any suggestions as to how to fix this? and what caused it to stop working?
Come on, guys! Help me out! How can I fix this?
You might consider downloading Hirens Boot CD and testing the hardware *Graphics Card*. Hirens is a boot CD
Once you've ensured the GPU isn't defective I'd recommend trying a different build of the ATI catalyst.

Make sure you correctly download & install 32bit/64bit as well. Click Start (Lower left on desktop) and right click on 'My Computer' and select properties if you are unsure
If you are still unsure which driver to download, try 3rd party software to find the driver you need.
As someone else recommended, DriverGenius should work well. Also, Driver Magician
Those software packages will help you download relevant drivers
Good luck
What's the make/model of your computer?
More specifically, what graphics card do you have, if you know that? Are you sure it's an AMD card?
I fixed it last week. :)
I had to update motherboard's drivers. The original drivers seems to be history. And yes, it's an AMD card which is working perfectly.
Case closed.
