I've been using Mandriva for a few years now, and decided I finally need to bite the bullet and dual boot with XP, as uni requires me to use some win stuff that runs horridly under wine.
So, a fresh XP install went fine, using only a small part of the drive (really only need web browsing with IE and shockwave/flash etc), and then I booted with Mandriva 2008.1 live cd and installed - all went ok. When I go to boot to windows it gives me the bl**dy bloo screen. I start remembering why I stopped using it in the first place! (I could boot to windows fine before mandriva went on).
Error being STOP! 0x0000007B. Blah blah blah, damaged disc etc. Can boot to mandriva perfectly fine, just not windows.
Windows part of boot menu reads (i'm using grub):
title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1355 10243768+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 1356 41345 302324400 5 Extended

/dev/sda7 2980 41345 290046928+ 83 Linux
Can anyone assist with my annoying problem? Suggest a cure, or something I've done wrong? Looking up the windows troubleshooting with the error code proved pointless, and I've re-installed both twice now, so it wasn't just a one off problem. At the moment I've got XP only on there, and am using mandriva 2008.1 from the live cd, have not done installation again yet in case there is something I can do beforehand that will make it all work properly!
Thanks
