Trying a clean install on a Lenovo notebook

Slipstreamed the SATA drivers on to an XP Home SP2 disk. Install goes fine with a handful of files that couldn't be copied at various points, but nothing crucial. After the install completes (I choose region, enter code, etc) and it reboots I get a blue screen stop error message with the code 0x0000007b 0xBACCF524.

I don't understand why the drivers suffice for installation, but cause a BSOD upon bootup.

Any ideas or experiences with this? I can't even gt into the BIOS because it seems to require a hidden partition they inlcude with their stock install.
 
I used to get things like that when I was playing around with slipstreaming. Sometimes it would install fine and then go to boot windows for the first time and BSOD. If it is a newer notebook, it will not need slipstreamed SATA drivers. My Toshiba P105 (has a sata drive) does not require sata drivers during the windows install.
 
Yeah, allegedly you can change the SATA controller to "compatilbity mode" and get around this, but you lose performance. Plus I'd need to install the old hard drive to even get into the BIOS because you can only access it by way of a hidden partition on Lenovo notebooks.
