If you have a SATA drive then xp needs a driver for said drive normally installed by hitting F6 during the boot process. Otherwise have you also tried installing while pc is up already although it may not allow it if older op sys is '2nd'can't recall but I've done it the other way around, which of course you are meant to have older installed first in theory:-) Gary [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Dual Boot W/XP Blue Screen Error Sunday, January 4, 2009 at 6:01 am Posted by alex (2812 messages posted) You didn't say on what drive you want to install the XP.but in any case you need SATA drivers for it.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Dual Boot W/XP Blue Screen Error Sunday, January 4, 2009 at 11:30 am Posted by SLB (8 messages posted) I do have a partition for it on the master drive, but didn't know about needing the drivers for XP. Sorry for my ignorance, but am I to hit F6 while it is loading the other stuff, before the shut down with the blue screen? Also, while researching this issue before posting the original problem here, I read that the older sys rule doesn't apply with Vista. I trust that is accurate. My second option, and less preferred, is that I can install XP on the slave drive and jst change boot order when I want to boot into XP, yes?
