Go to the laptop manufacturers website and verify Windows XP support.
Also get the latest Windows XP drivers.

before i ran the new install last night the battery tray was running fine as

I would make sure you have appropriate drivers.
Look for drivers relating to the battery, they may have been installed on
the old installation and not on this one.

I looked but could not find that laptop here:

Make sure the designation is correct.
