"a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your comp. check for viruses on your computer. ***stop: 0x0000007b, 0xf78d2524, oxc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"

displays this blue screen when trying to install winxp. boot from cdrom. fresh install. tried to format from both by winxp & win2k disk. same error. f6 to install raid drivers, but bypassed by using the ide bus instead. used a new ide drive, so it must be a virus protection on the cpu/flash. but there is nothing to write to but the hd(formatted). i am very confused at this point. any help???

ps
i've successfully downgraded from vista to xp on a toshiba satellite notebook. using driver magician v3.16, was able to find working xp drivers (nic drivers) that was not offered by toshiba support.

Why are you asking an XP question in a Vista newsgroup?
