I originally posted this elsewhere but this is probably the best place for it.
Got my new computer delivered yesterday with two hard drives, XP installed
on one. I want XP on both hard drives so I can have gaming, internet etc. on
one, then home recording (with minimal drivers and programs etc to minimise
latency) on the other. Didn't think this would be much of a problem...
I wasn't exactly sure how to multi boot but I didn't think there'd be any
harm in whacking the XP disc back in and seeing what happened. Got to the
setup screen and checked a box saying something like "choose which directory
XP is to be installed in at setup". All sounds good to me! Too good to be
true...
The computer restarts and boots up in DOS to setup XP. Strange thing is, the
computer cant find my hard drives. Even though when in XP, it can see and
access both in Explorer. Strange I thought...then I restarted as obviously I
couldn't install XP if the computer couldn't find a hard drive...and I get
the dreaded blue screen:
A problem has been deteceted and Windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've 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 (0xF7CAE524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x0000000000)
What's going on?! I restarted and got the same screen, and now I'm at a loss
as to what I should do. I'm very confused as to how what I'v
