Well, I was trying to downgrade from Vista 64 bit to XP 64 bit and now whenever I boot up I get this error message.
Sigh, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Cypress

Hello,
A new hard drive that is made for Vista may not have drivers for Windows XP.
This may be what is causing the error you have described.
Is this a new computer that came with Vista pre-installed?
