Interesting: Mainboard & XP incompatibility & crashed
I run Win 7 home premium 64bit but I wanted a box that I can go to less than stellar websites with and risk getting all my data burned to ashes and not give a fiddler's fart coz none of it matters. I know I should learn Linux. That's another quarrel.
I use those lovely removable bays so I can swap out HDs like it was free.
So pulled my win 7 drive and inserted my trash drive that I did a quick format on And installed my VP OS hoping to get one last up date before they shut that puppy down from microsoft.
Well it appears that XP can't install on my mainboard. IT crashed three times. Blue screen of death and all while I was trying to do the install.
OK, I can admit defeat and go out to the garden and eat worms and cry in the dark, in the cold, in the rain.
I pulled that drive reinserted my Win 7 Drive and Lo that crashed with the same error message.
Oh Come on fer criminie's sake~!!
I ended up doing a repair with my OS disk and that fixed it.
Lesson I guess is trying to run different OS on the same board with different drives can be so much fun
