Help with XP Pro checked/debug build?

NTDEV
1

I have the Windows XP Pro Checked build. (Disc 1013 October 2001 )

I’m doing a board bring up and have an issue where the system is shutting off after a seemingly random period of time. I would like to install the checked version of the OS to see if I can get any better insight into what is causing the issue.

The problem I’m encountering is that when I try to install from the CD I get a BSOD with a stop of 0x0000007E.

I then tried to install it on a separate known good system (not a new bring up), and I get the same problem.

I realize this isn’t directly a driver related question, but this was the only forum of people I could think of that would have good experience with getting the checked build of XP installed.

You are probably hitting an ASSERT, there is at least one that has
failed on every system I have used since XP onwards. If you look at the
article http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=264 it discusses
how to get a debugger running during setup, which will allow you to
continue through the ASSERT.

Keep in mind that XP Gold doesn’t support disks >137 GB well. It supports them in the most possible worst way.
