BSOD during Installation
I've tried installing Windows 7 build 6801 and I keep getting a BSOD during the installation. I have a 186GB HD and I've partitioned it the following way:
93.1GB - Vista
58.1GB - XP
20GB - for 7
15GB - Debian
and they're all primary partitions. My XP partition used to be 78.1GB, but I resized with the GParted Live CD (I've used this for years, and have never had a problem) and formatted it as an NTFS partition. When I boot up the 7 install disc, I can get all the way up to when you select which partition to install, and after hitting next, it says "unpacking, 0%" and then BSOD.
I also tried booting into it and just leaving it and after a period of time, it will BSOD, regardless of which stage of the install process I'm in.
Here's the BSOD code:
0x00000024 (0x000C225C, 0x00000011, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I've searched google and I can't find anything that lists the same code. the BS tells me to do a chkdsk so when I booted into Vista, I when to disk properties and then directed it to check all partitions at boot and I didn't get any error messages. The BSOD also tells me to disable any antivirus or disk degragmenter...
Thanks.
Edit: just thought I'd add this: I burned the .iso at the lowest possible speed, and then verified the data with Nero 7, and even tried it in VirtualBox in a 25GB partition where it worked perfectly and installed. Only problem, it wouldn't go any higher than 1024x768 even with the VirtualBox display drivers.
