Re: Install XP on blank partition on Vista machine

I suppose that you are in the United Kingdom. If so, then

Hi Folks,
Can anyone help with this, please?
I have read various help files on setting up a dual boot with XP installed
into a separate partition on a system with Vista pre-installed. The system is
a Medion system with SCSI internals, 3Gb RAM and Intel Quad processor. Not
sure what details are relevant to this problem .
I have created a blank partition using Paragon Hard Disk Manager, formatted
NTFS version 3.01 (as it was). I have not re-formatted it, perhaps I should.
I hide the Vista partition and make it Inactive and the new one active.
Now try booting from XP Pro (OEM) CD:
I am NOT offered a choice of partition but I assume it is the now only active
primary partition that will be used.
Various items are loaded in a blue screen with bottom info line and it gets to
'Starting windows' but then stops with 'found a problem' and STOP code
0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
The words suggest it has a problem with the HD but I have run a check on the
partition using the Paragon boot recovery disk and it reports no errors.
The problem repeats.
Any ideas? Is the NTFS version wrong for XP? should I change the XP partition
to FAT32?
XP Setup does ask if I need to load a third-party SCSI driver but I cannot
find any such thing on the Drivers supplied; how would I find out about this?
Thanks.
Derek
