Hello all,

I am creating a dual boot with vista/xp.
I have created a bootable xp disc.
But when i try to boot from the dvd i get an error.
it says there is something wrong with my hard drive and that i should scan with chkdsk
or virus protection.It also says i should remove my hard drive or drivers.
Even when i do scan with anti virus /chkdsk i still get error.

Any idea's are welcomed.

That's for any help.

You're welcome.

Is this a laptop or a desktop?

Can you help us help you by filling out your System Specs

This post here http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/118651-forum-rules-please-read.html#post916659 can help you with that.

Here's some info on that error,

Getting media test failure, check cable error when computer boots.

It seems the common reasons for that error are bad connection from the hard drive, incorrect boot order in the BIOS, or failing hard drive.

We'll wait till you post back with more info to offer more help.
