Problems installing XP on 2nd HD Zifka <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 12/26/2008 7:10:15 PM I am attempting to set up a dual boot on my PC running Vista Ultimate X64. I want to load XP on a second hard drive but during windows XP setup I get a stop message informing me "a problem has been detected and windows is shutting down...etc. with the following tech info: stop: 0x0000007b (0xf78D2524, 0x00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) Vista recognizes the new drive but I can't set up XP on it. What now? -- Zifka

Also, if this is a sata drive, then XP may require drivers from the motherboard manufacturer in order to detect and install on it properly. Sata drives were not the norm when XP was new, and it does not natively contain drivers for all makes. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Zifka" <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:88c330a4e02b989805389319f7e68b38[ at ]nntp-gateway.com...
