    I have a clevo D900K. I recently bought it as a barebone and put 2GB of RAM, a FX-60 CPU, a 250 GB Sata Drive, and a 7950GTX video card. After running into a boot issue, i had to remove 1 stick of Ram because of a compatibility issue. Anyways, i have tried to install many different versions of XP.. After realizing that i need to at least install a version of XP with SP2 or higher, i tried several versions of XP that have SP2 in them, but i have always run into the blue screen when the system boots.. The screen first appears when the system attempts to reboot after the first initial batch of files have been copied.. Xp will begin to load and then the blue screen below appears. Any suggestions on what to do?? I am in desperate need of help or else im just going to resell each individual component..

    0x7b means inacessible boot device. You're trying to load Windows XP onto a SATA drive. XP doesn't support SATA natively, so you'll need to press F6 when prompted during setup and install the SATA drivers at that stage.
