0x0000007b on SATA HD from Installation CD

[Guest]

Asus P5WD2 Premium Motherboard
Nividia N6200TC Video
Hitachi 250gb SATA-II HD
Corsiar 2 x 512 DDR2
Windows XP x64

Windows x64 clean install onto SATA-II HD on ICH7R controller, went with no
problems or error messages, did not install any driver at the F6 stage of
boot up.

In BIOS SATA = IDE, since only running one drive. Machine runs fine with
X64, all drivers installed in device manager, no exclamation marks or errors.

See need to create two partitions and dual boot with XP32 and XP64.

Run install CD to delete original partition and create two separate ones.
All drivers load, install reaches "Starting Windows" pauses few seconds, goes
to black screen, then to blue screen with STOP: 0x0000007b
(0xFFFFFADFE4A323C0, with more codes.

The machine should not have a virus. Nothing but OS and Word Perfect on here.

Asus tech suggested installing ICH7R RAID drivers @ F6, no luck...

Tried installing new drive, and making drive with problem partition slave,
and deleting from there, no luck, same error.

From hard drive OS boots and runs fine, no errors.... Try to boot from
Installation CD, same error everytime. Any suggestions or work arounds?

Boot to xp cd,use F6,then at cd boot info screen select,recovery,press enter
key for password,then typeiskPart In DiskPart,delete the
partition(s),create
one,then press ESC key,then type:FORMAT C: /FS:ntfs When thru type:EXIT
Then reboot to xp cd,select,install xp.If you use xp pro,you can run other
DiskPart
tasks from cmd,home can't.For a guide,go
