I intended to sell this but needed it to function properly. I inserted a bootable Windows XP USB into the USB port and it displayed a blue screen in the image below. I switched the drive settings to legacy or auto RAID/ATA, and the issue remained the same. I’m trying to get this sold quickly.

XP sometimes struggles with starting from USB flash drives. Consider writing it onto a CD-R or using software such as Ventoy to create a bootable version.

This would be possible, though your hard drive was damaged.
