Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly, are you absolutely sure that you're installing XP in a virtual
machine and not, unfortunately, on the host by mistake...?
How much RAM did you allocate to the new virtual machine...?

It is definitely installing on the virtual machine. In the Virtual PC 2007
window I see the drivers load fine, but when it gets to "windows starting"
the laptop reboots.
I used the default settings during the wizard to configure the VM except I
only allocated 30Gb for the virtual Hard drive. The RAM I did not change so
it is set to 128Mb.
I've tried removing and creating another VM and each time when it's
installing XP and it gets to "starting windows" ...reboot of the laptop.

Give this a try, disable HW Virtualization in VPC and see if that
works. If it does, then its likely the BIOS implementation of HWV is
bad and look for a BIOS update for your MB.
