I have a HP pavillion that came with Vista and a recovery partition. Since I
was not real happy with Vista, I decided to remove the recovery partition and
made the jump to Win7Beta and had no issues. Due to some small compatability
issues with some older games, I installed a second HD (smaller) and installed
XP on it and had a dual boot system. All was good. I had planned on
upgrading to win 7 however due to finanancial issues wasand will not be able
to upgrade to win 7 any time soon so I decided to revert back to XP on my
larger HD (that came with Vista installed).
During the install, I'm getting the following error: Stop: 0x0000007B
(0xf78d2524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
I know the HD is good because I was able to reload win 7 to it and I know
both XP install disks are good as I did a fresh insall on the smaller HD.
From what I can tell, It's a driver issue with the HD Controller however how
can I find one I can use during the install? According to Hitachi's website
"Current operating systems, including Windows Vista, XP and 2000, and Mac OS
X, already include pre-installed drivers for the hard disk drive itself. No
additional drivers are required." so that is no help.
What other options do I have?
Thanks
