Need Help
Ok, so i installed 7 on my laptop and had absolutely no problems. So i decided that i wanted to try it out on my gaming rig. Everything was fine besides certain graphics and sound problems, but hey, its a beta and drivers arent to great for it yet.
This past sunday i decided to go reinstall XP, and ive had NOTHING but problems. Every time i try to install it, i get a blue screen at one time or another. Ive tried everthing short of throwing the machine infront of a train.
Ive tried 5 different CD's, including an original (i have a license but there are certain installs that i like so i use those). I ran Memtest and that came out fine. I tried a spare cdrom i have and that didnt work.
I troubleshooted everything to the best of my ability, and no matter what i cant get XP in my machine. Mind you, the computer has had 0 problems before this, so the changed variable is Windows 7.
Now... heres my question, is there any chance in hell that from installing 7 could be preventing me from installing another OS? Some kind of bug i havent heard about yet?
Thanks for any help!
