This thread is not really about a BSOD investigation, but a Windows Setup failure due to incompatible drivers (within Setup/WinPE) for a rather old laptop. Probably there are no generic chipset drivers in WinPE compatible with hardware supporting the USB ports, and the most recent drivers are not WDDM compatible belonging in the era of Windows XP.
Possibly the mods could place it in Installation and Upgrade.
The boot menu corruption is also no longer an issue, solved by @wpcoe who discovered that the bootmenu could be repaired using MSCONFIG to delete the offending BCD entry.
