Getting BSOD on Installing XP; STOP 0000007B

[Avinash]

BSOD occurs only if you are having issues with Hardware in terms of correct drivers from your OS.

Before I can answer , It would be better if you can clarify few things.

1. BSOD occured before the XP installation detected your Hard disks correctly? OR
2. BSOD occured after the XP installation detected your Hard disks correctly?

MY gues sis, it occurred before the HDD detection and if that is the case , then you need to have correct SATA drives for your HDD for XP. You can integrate it with the XP cd. I can help you in doing that.

And if the BSOD occurred as in case 2, then we need to investigate further.

Well it was caz of SATA drivers. I could create XP-SATA Cd and installed XP. Also installed W7-64-bit.
Though I faced problem going into cmd mode from W7-64-bit DVD as well as W7 Recovery CD. Finally had to boot from W7-32bit DVD, open cmd prompt, create partition. Then booted from 64-bit DVD & installed W7.


Now i have 3 entries in Boot Manager:
Previous version [XP]
W7 [working W7]
W7 [non-working W7, if i select this option it goes into recovery mode, giving that language & keyboard selection window]

Another thing is that the Sony Vaio assist button is not taking me to the recovery option, though the recovery partition still exists on the HDD.

So, what next?
