BSOD While installing XP PRO

GrrrGrrr
edited January 2011 in Science & Tech
I have a new Windows 7 laptop VPCEB33FM/BJ.
I want to have the dual boot with XP.

Current Config on Laptop:
W7 PRO 64-bit
Only C: partition
Rest everything is factory default

I have XP CD & while trying to install XP I get the Blue Screen:
STOP 0000007B
0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000

#1: I scanned with KIS2011 & it reported no infections.

#2: There is only 1 HDD with C: having factory default Windows 7 installed. There are no other partitions.
#3: The BIOS is Ami Aptio Setup Utility Copyright 2008 American megatrends Inc
Version 1.28.1119. And it does not have any setting to disable SATA
#4: I do not have external floppy drive

My findings say I require SATA drivers to install XP & then slipstream it in XP CD.

Questions From the Slipstreaming Windows XP article (http://tech.icrontic.com/articles/slipstream_windows_xp)

1. Do i need to just unzip the "ahci_drivers_winxp-32" in the drivers folder, or copy the contents of AMD, Intel & NVIDIA to drivers folder (step 2B)? If i just unzip there will be 3 folders inside the drivers folder. So do i need to browse all the .ini files (from nlite) or just the main folder like AMD/Intel?:confused:
2. Where to get all the hotfixes for XP, so that I can download and put them in Service packs folder?
3. How to integrate all the XP hotfixes?
4. Will these ahci_drivers_winxp-32 drives work fine on my 64-bit architecture?

A big thanks to <cite>Robert Hallock for making this article on </cite>Slipstreaming :respect:

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Grr

    If 1 OS is not working atleast I could still use the laptop. Moreover I'm new to W7, so need to get used to it.

    This isn't really an answer to your original question just some advice on your reasoning. The odds are if 1 os has stopped working both will have stopped working since the general reasons for OS's completely failing are hardware related or a truly nasty virus. If it's a truly nasty virus I'd be it'll do it's job and find other files on your other partition and take them out too since they won't be hidden from your primary OS.

    So I would suggest that to get around that problem you get a version of Ubuntu live that will run off a CD or even off a thumb drive and use that as an 'incase my OS won't work'. Not only will it definitely work baring hardware failure it you can stretch your skills with a new OS and use it to actually trouble shoot some problems you may have that are stopping your OS from working.

    Now as to the differences from XP to 7 there are a lot, but to the end users the difference aren't that great and you'll be serving yourself better to just jump in to 7 and start learning it instead of using a fallback XP installation as a crutch.

    Thanks for the insight. I would get myself an Ubuntu live CD.

    I appreciate if you could help answering my questions. Great help for me.

    Thanks,
