Installing Win XP Pro to Acer AX3200

Hi everyone, this is a long story:

I bought this AX3200 desktop (#1) originally for home use but it ended up in my working office.

There's is a software that requires to run on XP Pro at my workplace instead of the Vista 64Bit it came with.

I encountered a lot of problems while trying to install with my XP Pro CD (New, not registered online or anything). Every time I tried to install it gave me BSOD 0x0000007B

Read a little bit online about how to fix it, I formatted the HD(WD caviar SE-16) on my other desktop (#2) and installed the XP pro successfully. I also installed the chipset driver (GeForce 8200) for AX3200's motherboard while the HD is connected to desktop#2.

Everything runs smoothly until next step.


However, when I put the HD back to AX3200, it will startup, show windows logo for about 3 secs, and then show me again the BSOD 0x0000007B.

What can I do now?

I have been thinking:
1. Install a RAID/SCSI driver from a floppy disk, but there's is no place for me to connect it to mobo on AX3200

2. Install the RAID/SCSI driver when HD is connected to desktop#2, is it going to work like this?

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks did you try hitting F6 at startup?

Hello Ushio,

Quick question. Do you have a Windows XP Professional Install CD, because if i would be you, install your Raid/SCSI driver slipstreamed into your installation medium. That way you won't have that issue. Or at least shouldn't.

Really good software. Give it a try, makes it easier to slipstream information into a ISO.

 

Thank you very much guys.

Elder, I do have a Win XP Pro CD, and I will try to figure out how to streamline it into the installing process.

I think I need to put in both CD-ROM driver and the raid/SCSI HDD driver into it after reading Cat's post.
Thank you there, cat


I tried to use usb floppy disk drive after press F6, but it didnt work for me.

Just gonna keep on trying.

Thank you

 

I don't think xp will check anything other than a floppy that's not usb...so slipstreaming is probably your best option.

 

Aight,

I streamlined the mobo chipset driver into the bootdisc
Thx a lot, Elder.

It passed the test on the first part. The windows install setup actually successfully loaded all of the drivers and showed "Starting up Windows...."


BSOD followed it immediately.
STOP : 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

Looking for answers online now...

I totally believe there's lotta ppl having same problem with this damn windows.......

I checked some of the solutions on forum. I cannot use most of them because I dont even have a OS on this HDD yet...
I will try to connect this HDD back to my desktop#2 and format it. chkdsk it. hope it will revive.....

God bless.

 

Ok, I cant find the edit post button again. So i have to post another one in my thread

Format the HDD, chkdsk says its doing fine, no bad areas.

Does that mean I should slipstream more drivers into the bootCD? or what else can I do?
