dinosaw Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 hi, im trying to install XP on a HP dv6 on a serperate partition to Windows 7.Ive set the boot device proiority in the BIOS and when booting from the XP CD, i get the blue screen of death afer loading all drivers and RAID controllers etc? now i read about third pary SATA drivers and i know my laptop has SATA, but ive got a feeling im not even getting far enough for these drivers, it says if you need to install 3rd party raid drivers, press F6any ideas on the blue screen of death while trying to boot?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Why do you want to do this dual boot?Many programs designed for XP also work in W7. Those that won't can often be made to by: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The setup wont even load keeps taking me to blue screen of death? im guessing i have the incorrect SATA drivers.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I always think that there comes a point where one has to consider whether it is worth all the hassle in trying to achieve what you are trying to do.I'm still not convinced that persisting with an obsolete (or at best obsolescent) is the best way to go but, possibly a look at http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=&q=dual+boot+windows+7+and+xp&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_en-GBGB341GB341&ie=UTF-8&aq=0&oq=dual+boot+w will help (or just Google "dual boot Windows 7 and XP") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I think you should give up. The information given to you in this topic contain clear instructions how to identify the drivers you need, how to download and slipstream them. If this is not enough for you, then no-one can help you.In my view it would be far easier just to run Windows 7 in XP mode. Much safer too.

Eorxroa1ST Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 what is Dual Boot in Windows 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Dual boot, or multi boot, is having different operating systems on one computer.At startup, the boot manager lets you decide which operating system to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
