NO Emulation System Type 00

[kemperhills]

I have an Acer Aspire x1300 running Windows 7. The computer came with Vista, but I used a Windows 7 install disk to install 7. The computer crashed. I replaced the HD, formatted and installed W7.

Here's my problem. I partitioned 1 GB to install XP Pro SP3. I want the XP to run programs and printers that won't run on W7.

When the boot starts I get a pre-boot screen that has "No Emulation"

Then when it boots from the XP disk the computer starts to load the files. At the end it says "Starting Windows" then I get a blue screen that says the install was stopped. At the bottom of the blue screen is the following:

Technical Information:

Stop:0x0000007B (0xF7D2524, 0xC0000034,0x00000000, 0x00000000

Is there any way to fix this so I can install XP on the partition. Thanks

You will need more then 1gb to install XP on. XP itself requires at least 1.5gb of space. You would need at least 15-20 gb for xp and programs and have the partition not full.

Yeah you need a bigger partition. 1GB isn't enough for XP.
