Peculiar Problem in Gigabyte motherboard???

[Patrose_2020]

Dear ones,
Can any one clarify?

I have a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-MA78GM-S2H) with AMD Athlon X2 Processor with 250 SATA HDD n 2 GB Memory. I can install MS Vista n is working fine... but I cannot install Windows XP (32 bit or 64 bit) and Windows 2003... While installing it copies the files, and when installation initilises, system get shut down... Can any one clarify????


Have fun... have a great day...
Patsy

u can't install Xp or any lower version on Vista

try formatting Vista Config and reinstall Vista after installing Xp

I am using the same motherboard with XP in dual boot. Dont think motherboaed is causing the problem. Try a different XP cd.

Thanks dear ones for your valuable comments..

i first tried a installation for Xp which unfortunately did not worked...
Than, i installed Vista from the scratch.... i am getting used to it now...
I think, the question still challenges our intelligence... will always.. till a satisfactory answer was found..

let me format Vista n try Linux versions... Redhat or Suse... a little odd but lets see if the problem persists or not...

Any help is most welcome... nice to be among you guys...

Have a great day... n a great evening..
