Hi there, I was just wondering if you knew if some new hardware cant install xp. the reason I ask is because my new PC installs vista and windows 7 but crashes when I put in the windows xp cd and try to install from that, I get a blue screen of death, I've had this PC 7 months and runs perfect, I've had vista on untill now and I've had windows 7 on for past few weeks.

Just curious, but not really bothered because am sticking with windows 7 and am gona have vista on another partion just for a couple of games that dont run right in windows 7.

Thanks in advance.

It blue screens before you get to the bit where it allows you to run setup and format, and yeah I'm using a sata type hard drive, not IDE.

I guess your right, its probably because I didnt click F6 or whatever it is and install sata drivers or something.

I think I have an INTEL motherboard, its prob not the best but I got quad core with 4gigs of ram and an amazing £300 nvidia graphics card with water cooling and everything runs sweet, built it myself.

Its funny how vista and windows 7 install fine though.

Thanks anyway.
