Trouble installing Dual Boot

[Gary]

Vista wont let XP disk install. Gives me blue screen. Had dual boot on same system, but I messed it up and reinstalled. Downloaded Bootvis, but haven't reattempted. Anyone have a solution to Vista first dual boot install giving BSOD?

When does it blue screen? after XP is installed or during the XP installation process?

[Gary]

During the install. The XP drivers load, then it blue screens and restarts.

H/D jumpers are still the same.
I/O ribbons connected completely H/D and CD-ROM.
4 pin molex (power) is plugged in tight H/D and CD-ROM
H/D and CD-ROM is plugged in correct spot on the ribbon cable in sink with jumper setting.
BIOS set to boot to that drive/partition after cd boot opion.

If all these found to be good than I would say you have a hard drive going bad.
To many formats or just age will kill H/D They dont last for ever.(Try another drive if you can) or try differt PSUs if possible too. Just to make sure.

Rember to try each of these seperatly!

Good luck!
