    All:

    I have a 1520. I did a fresh install of Vista and wanted to dual boot with XP Pro. I booted into the Vista CD and shrank the Vista partition in half leaving about 68GB of unallocated space on the HD. I then went into the bios, set the HD to ATA and turned off disk caching, booted off of the XP CD and get most of the way through the initial driver loading stuff and then it crashes with the following message

    *** STOP: 0-00000007E (0xc0000005, 0xf748E0bf, 0xf78da208, 0xf78d9f08)

    *** pci.sys - Address F748e0bf base at f7487000, datestamp 3b7d855c

    I've tried three times now and the install dies at the same point with the same message. Help???

    Thanks,

    OK the only thing off the top of my head that would result in this error is, you are installing windows XP SP1, and you will need SP2 in order to get rid of this problem (hopefully).

    Take your windows disc and download nlite:
    http://www.nliteos.com/

    Slipstream SP2 into that disc and rebuild it.
    Remember to burn at a slow speed!
    That site has plenty of documentation on how to do this, so that’s on you.

    You can refer to this page for further reading in regards to:
    STOP: 0-00000007E

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;330182

    However if... you don’t have SP2 on the disc attempt that first.

    Best of luck...

    That seems to have been the problem. I burned an image of XP Pro w/ SP2 slipstreamed into it. Problem solved.

    Thanks!!
