XP Blue screen of death on boot up

[macman88]

Alright here's what I did the past few days.

 

I first started off with a 2 partition hard drive that I've had for a few months now. the partition map looked like this:

1) Tiger

2) Windows XP Pro SP2

 

I finally got myself a copy of Leopard to play around with and test applications on, so I imaged my XP partition using the BartPE live CD with the DiskImage XML plug in.

 

After a few roadblocks with installing Leopard, I got it running. The final result was this:

1) Tiger

2) Leopard

3) Windows XP Pro SP2 partition

 

I reimaged my backup again using the BartPE disc and everything seemed to be going right. Before booting up XP, I edited the boot.ini from Tiger using textedit to make sure that Windows was going to point to the right partiton to boot. Then however, when I select XP from the bootloader menu (apple or rEFIt), it only goes up to the Windows XP boot screen and then BSODs on me with a Stop Error 0x0000007F, claiming I had some defective hardware.

 

I thought it had to do with a few config files pointing Windows to the wrong drive, so I did a repair install using my original xp disc (basically patching the system files with the ones that were on the disc). After it rebooted to go into the hard drive based install (with the GUI and cursor, not the whole blue screen pushing F-keys, esc, and enter), again, it would crash after the boot screen.

 

My last effort was formatting the XP partition and doing a clean install of XP. I tried it and....everything worked. HOWEVER, all of my game data, documents, and programs are on my disk image of the old partition, so I really want to be able to get that install to work.

 

Any suggestions on what I should modify/edit/try to get XP to boot right?

nevermind.

 

for some odd reason, the XP image has to be reimaged onto the partition BEFORE I install leopard for it to not BSOD on me.
