Vista - Vista still crashing

Firstly can I say thanks to Chad Harris for all his help and support.

I did everything that Chad advised but when I tried a repair install it
messed my whole system up and said that it couldn't repair it. It messed up
my other OS and it failed to reinstall when I tried a reinstall saying that
there was a driver missing.

I eventually got my system back to using my old xp pro install and I deleted
vista from the E partition and then I reinstalled it to the partition. But
once again it loads, boots to my desktop, a message appears saying that
windows has recovered from a serious error......... bluescreen or something
to do with a minidump (dont get a chance to see the logfile) then it
crashes. What do I do, is there something I can do in safemode?

I really want to try Vista out but it is being a real pain!!!

That's probably why Microsoft don't recommend users installing dual boot.
People install dual boot because they figured out they can do it. Installing
2 or more operating system on the same machine is not an Operating System
supported feature. It is your own work, you're on your own.

Personally I don't enjoy muliple operating systems on a single machine. I
prefer many machines on a network with different operating systems instead,
it has less problems.
