Default Problems installing XP on 2nd HD


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?

Hi,

If you already partitioned and formatted the drive with Vista, then you need
to remove these volumes and allow XP setup to do it. 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.
