Ahhhh, you used the installer to format. Yeah I used Acronis to split and format a partition for 7. That might be an issue. Maybe I will try it again with that. Thanks.

Well, at least I wasn't the only one. For now I have removed 7. I just wanted to test all my hardware and day to day stuff. And it worked. But the inconveniences with the chkdsk errors were too annoying for now. If I had a separate machine to install 7 on I would in a second. In fact what...

Still getting this error. I think it has to do something with my 7 installation access and using the same media partitions as my XP install. I have a partition used for my music, pictures, and video libraries. I also have a partition for my audio recordings that I do with Adobe Audition...

Memtest was fine. 7 is still working. I have had 1 disk error since yesterday. Ran chkdsk and it cleaned some stuff.

Actually I have memtest on CD. Ill try booting to that and running it. It's been a few months since I ran it. Thanks for the tip. Another note. I have my mem underclocked to 667 to match the board 1:1. I wouldnt think that would cause an issue.

hmmm....the weird thing is that XP runs fine. Been running fine since this build I did in Feb 08'. I even did a MEM test that 7 has built in. (Don't know how good that is.) I will see if I can get a test piece from a friend.

Got the beta off the microsoft site one week ago. It is the 32 bit. SPECS MSI P6N Nvidia 650i mobo Intel E6750 Core 2 2 gigs of Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 RAM Seagate 7200.10 250G SATA HD Seagate 7200.11 500G SATA HD EVGA Nvidia 9600GT 512M video card

I am getting this error quite frequent. This is the 4th time I've installed 7 beta. I've done 1 install with totally wiping out my XP installation. It worked fine then. I started with a dual boot. This is when it happened all the time after I got a few programs installed in 7. So I did...

Cool. I will definitely check that out. Thanks.

Well, I just made a backup and did a clean install single boot to 7. No dual. Most is working fine. I tried 64 but my audio device only is 32. No drivers. The only piece of hardware holding me back. Oh well. Anyone have problems with Firefox not downloading files? That's my next...

Well I know I have a piece of audio recording harware that might take a different driver between XP and 7. But that doesn't matter, right? Depending on what I boot to, each OS uses it's own driver. I will still mess with it. Now, what if I try XP-32 and 7-64 bit? Is that not recommended?

I am trying to do a dual boot with XP and 7. I did get it to work. But had to remove and reinstall 7 twice due to an error with hard-drive. Everything was going along fine. I was installing apps and doing basic testing. It happened when I got to testing Steam. I was trying to play HL2...
