Re: unable to boot into xp

When you did the in-place upgrade quite possibly you needed to press F6 at the very beginning of the setup routine to have Windows load the SATA or Mass Storage controller drivers. You MUST supply the drivers on floppy diskette, the setup program will not accept the drivers from any other media source.

the only other thing the BSoD said was that "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." I know that STOP: 0x0000007B is associated with driver errors and thats what I thought was causing the problem to begin with. My drive is a 250 GB WDC caviar se 16 SATA. Windows XP worked fine on it before.
