I don't know if it works with laptops or not, but when i got my computer (ex school computer.. my friend works for the schools it department, and gave me this old one) when he went to set it up, he ripped it open, and took off a chip in the motherboard, which apparently contained the passwords and shit to the bios.. not entirely sure what it was, but it worked.. no pw on the bios :oHe removed the battery. I've already mentioned this above. (SIGH) Since we're talking about a laptop trying the various *backdoor* passwords (following the link I gave) is a better alternative as laptops are hard to disassemble.
He may also need access to the BIOS to set booting from the optical drive. As for how to do an install of Windows XP:
yeah, sorry... thought you had, but wasn't entirely sure :|

You really do not need to get into the BIOS to change the boot options. I looked closely at your video and when you turn on the computer tap the F12 key and that will give you a temporary boot option where you can force it over to boot from the cd drive.
You can also try loading into safe mode run command prompt and type in "sfc /scannow" without the parenthesis and that will go through and check all the windows main files and repair them if it can. Since the blue screen shows that it has a missing or corrupt .dll file this could easily fix it.
You can also try loading into this disc and also run SFC scan where it can fully repair any missing or corrupt files.
