This is not an original CD source, but I know that this ISO has been installed without problems on machines with floppy drives/appropriate drivers. Does this method not apply to any but original versions? I have 1GB RAM. The full error is: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) The text is generic and does not give any file information, just that a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage...reboot try again or check for hard drive corruption. Should it matter if the harddrive I want to install this on is partitioned? One empty 15GB NTFS, and then an ext3 partition.
