Oh WOW, i made it at last. This is my way:
1) Format USB stick(256MB) with HP tools (windows 98 dos)
2) Copy Partition Magic to USB stick.
WINXP Installation:
1) Copy the \I386 folder from WinXP CD into the USB Harddisk (2GB FAT32)
2) Set my system BIOS to boot from USB.
3) Delete all partitions from the Laptop Hardisk using Partition Magic and create a new one with a main partition and a 1GB extended partition.
4) Set the main partition as active with Partiton Magic.
5) Reboot using the USB harddisk to effect partition changes.
6) Format and transfer DOS system to Laptop main partition using: x:\>format x: /s
7) Format the 1GB extended partition as well.
8) Run SMARTDRV
9) XCOPY \I386 from usb harddisk to laptop 1GB extended partition.
10) Copy SMARTDRV.EXE config.sys n himem.sys from the usb stick to laptop main partition.
11) Remove USB and reboot
12) Once in DOS, run SMARTDRV
13) Goto the extended partition \I386 folder and run WINNT
I thought i gonna get the "Unknow Hard Error" again, but i didnt!!!!!!!!! I used a whole week to figure out how to do it.... LOL Thank You very much!!

I tried USB-stick with edited NTDETECT.COM does not work for me. I cant even go to the recovery console, its the same BSOD error 07B.

If still giving BSOD try changing in BIOS SATA mode to IDE, do you have a similar option? Like AHCI off, SATA mode- IDE.... Is it's hard drive SATA?
Do you have any mass storage drivers slipstreamed? Have you tried slipstreaming BTS mass storage drivers?
My laptop is using ATA hard disk. I cannot find those option in my BIOS. How do i use those driver? Should i extract to the i386 folders in USB drive??

Good, look at the FAQs and find what you can try about 0x0000007B.
I have modified ntdetect.com by Tiny Hexer, then replace the old one in the usb hard disk root. However it still doesnt working, what else can i do?

Did you look at the sticked FAQs?
What model is your laptop?
Did you select USB hard disk (option 0), although it shouldn't be the cause for the BSOD.
My Laptop is IBM THINKPAD X40.
Yes i chose USB hard disk instead of USB-stick

I downloaded USB multiboot 9 from my desktop, everythings fine. I could format my USB harddrive (HP tools, NTFS 60GB), copying xp setup file from CD (windows xp pro sp2). When i use the usb hard drive to boot on my laptop, i choose 1 txt mode to setup windows xp, then there are blue screen as follow:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
........
STOP : 0X0000007B (0XF99D8524, 0XC00000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
