What's the previous OS of your laptop? Error indicates a corrupted partition or the partition info of your laptop have problems. Maybe, your using different OS previously...Best thing to do is re-partition your hardisk using the old way (DOS mode). You can download utility to make bootdisk here:

Concerning the partmgr.sys blue screen error, sounds like MBR is bad. The XP installation disk gives you the option to format in NTFS, FAT, and both formats in a "quick" mode. try NTFS (quick). I would say its a format of hard drive problem.
You have loads of options to fix this problem, info is needed as to do you have a usb/built in Floppy drive, or a bootable pen drive.

I'd grab a copy of XP Pro SP3 and see if it got me around the problems.

This one is quite well liked:

Try disabling native sata in cmos setup.
If the os does not support sata drives, you cant install older version of windows.

You could not have tried all format options, but ten to one, it's the MBR, I would format drive with say Dos6.2 and Fdisk /MBR two or three times. you will be limited to the size of dos, but all you want to do is fix the MBR.
There are other options, but you need to tell us, Have you a bootable floppy, pen drive, or if you have a usb caddy, you could put the hd drive in.

The MBR or master boot record it tell the OS, about boot up and the partition table, it has hidden sectors too. Microshaft and others used to hide licence info here too.
So if you need to replace the MBR, easy way is to use msdos Fdisk/MBR command (for a long time this was undocumented), sometimes you need to run command FDISK/MBR 2 to 3 times, to clear a sticky or messed up MBR.
