Hi,
I have just built a new system and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I then installed the Hard Drives out of my old system and tried to boot to the old XP OS and got a BSOD.
I have read of SATA driver problems in this forum but they all seem to apply to reinstallation of the operating system and slipstreaming on to the new installation.
Can I do anything to modify the existing XP install without reinstalling or is this impossible after installing the HD onto a new system? Would a system repair work and if so will this have to be done through CMD prompt or is there a way to get around it with 3rd party software accessing XP via Windows 7 to get the dual boot to work for me?
Cheers
Barry
