    Hey guys.

    FW31ZJ...Want to put XP Pro on in as a triple boot (XP Pro, Vista H.P. x64, Windows 7 RC).

    I've bought a new HD for it to do it all (Western Digital Scorpio 500Gb 5,400rpm) so I'm good to go...at least I THOUGHT I was... :(

    Windows XP Blue Screens in the setup! :(
    I've tried XP SP1, SP2, SP3, Pro, Home, x64...All do the same at the same time.
    The error is a Stop Error 0x0000007b (0xf78d2524, 0xc0000034, 0x0000000, 0x00000000).

    Hmm...Just found a note on slipstreaming the driver in there...Anyone actually tried this?

    OK sorry for double posting, but I've just tried the nLite way...I slip streamed the Intel ICH9M AHCI Driver in to my Win XP Pro SP3 CD, burnt it off...and it works! YEY!
    I've had such a productive day :p I enabled Hardware VT, and now I can ditch that god awful Fujitsu HD and put a REAL OS on my VAIO :p
