I’am having trouble loading a new version of XP pro on a new partition in a HP Pavilion media center PC with Vista Hm Premium OS preinstalled, no DVD was sent with the system. A partition was prepared for the XP OS on the 500gb vista HDD, there was no problems setting up the partition. I set the boot order in system bios to read the cdrom on startup, it does most of the time, though not always. XP install blows right by the F6 prompt, and the F2 prompt as it then proceeds to the following message: (A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check for viruses on your computer. remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer. Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) No new hardware was installed and everything seem to be properly configured, no CHKDSK /F was ran.
