dual boot system won't load windows 7
I have already reinstalled Windows 7 and just like the first install it worked for a while and booted okay.Now it will not load at all. After choosing Windows 7 it will try to start then gets a BSOD which goes by too fast to read, and then it goes back through system start up until I choose to start XP. I have a Dell XPS600 with windows xp media center. I have XP mc on RAID0 and Windows 7 on another stand alone drive. I tried repairing but still get the same thing. Any one have any clue what I need to do? Thanks!

BSOD's are usually caused by incompatible drivers, however, it is difficult to be precise because you can't see the BSOD details. I suggest that you boot into Windows 7 safe mode. Once at the safe mode menu clcik on the 'disable automatic restart on system failure.' This will turn off the restart feature which is preventing you from seeing the details of the BSOD. Once you have done this restart your PC and boot into Windows 7. When the BSOD occurs your PC sould not restart and you will be able to see exactly what the error message is. Make a note of 'all' the details on the BSOD and post it back here. Once we have details of the BSOD we will have a better idea of what is going on and there may be someone who can help you with your problem.
