Re: my post = IDE External USB Disk Bootable Dual Boot or One Time Boot STOP Error Thanks for the info Jaclaz . . . I've been working in the field for years (now as a 3rd line support analyst) Got a couple of MCPs so I have a little knowledge of systems but Win7 is new to me esp registry If it's do-able then I would like to try & get it working. Doesnt need to have all the devices just to play games - only the display adapter etc. Any other info on the above would be great. Thanks, Max

We have an HP6120 laptop with IDE 80gb 2.5" disk running XP Pro that has some Games on which we do not have the CDs for. Trying to get them to play on a new install of Windows7 Dual Boot - or - One Time Boot to external caddy with the IDE disk Can workout how to diskpart and set the USB drive as active etc. But with One Time Boot it hangs. Then with F8 Safe Mode it blue screens 0000007A after MUP.SYS I have a Dell D430 and a E6500 that I am trying it on. One has XP the other has Win7. Wanted to get them working as an external drive so they can be moved to either laptop. I would appreciate any ideas to get these games playing for my daughter Thanks - Max
