XP dual boot bombs out...

All:

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop. I did a fresh install of Vista Home Premium to remove all the Dell garbage and decided I wanted to dual boot with XP Pro.

I booted into the Vista CD and shrank the Vista partition to half its original size 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 (my XP Pro CD isn't SP2, no SATA drivers), 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,

Welcome to the Forums 🙂 Does it still manage to boot Vista, now that you've changed the SATA controller to ATA mode?
