So I'm trying to dual boot Vista Business x64 and XP Professional with SP2. I used the Manager to shrink my main partition by 10 GB, and then formatted it into a new partition. When I try to install XP, it will start listing everything that it is loading at the bottom of the screen, and when it finishes it says "Starting Windows" or something that at the bottom, and then it goes into a BSOD.

The error code is 0x0000007B, and then the numbers listed after it were 0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000. Apparently this is an "inaccessible boot device error"?

I tried erasing the petition that I had created so that I had 10GB of unallocated space, but I still got the same BSOD.

Then I thought that maybe my disk didn't get burned properly, so I tried reburning the iso again with a different program and tried again, but I still got the same BSOD.

Does it matter if I burned it to a DVD even though its a CD-ROM iso?

Any other ideas?
Thanks.

for those that are wondering, bsod = blue screen of death.

Good luck with the problem.

Well it seems that I need some additional files when installing XP when RAID is set up, which is causing the problem. I'm trying to hunt down a floppy disk right now

Well it works now. I "slipstreamed" (or something like that) the drivers into the XP Install Disc with a program called nLite and that worked instead of having to find a floppy disc.

Then it just took a while to get the drivers for everything because it didn't have the drivers for my network adapter

Anyways, a mod can lock this now.

And if people were ignoring this because they thought that it was an illegal copy of XP that I'm trying to install, it's not.

Thanks.

Glad to hear you solved your problems.
