I had the same problem - formatted hard disk and then attempted fresh install of XP SP2 on an 2000 model of the Thinkpad X20. It booted up with the Blue Screen error every time. The solution for me was to: 1) Install Windows 2000 Pro - this is what came on the system, 2) Fully update Windows 2000 Pro, 3) Update all the IBM/Lenovo software on the system - especially the embedded controller and the BIOS, 4) Install XP SP2 as an upgrade from Windows 2000 Pro, 5) Fully update Windows XP.
Note that formatting the hard disk and attempting a fresh install of XP SP2 directly always ended in failure - Blue Screen. I had to take the upgrade path to make it work.
Hope this helps.
