I was following the Install Windows XP on Your Pre-Installed Windows Vista Computer guide and everything was going great until the words "Loading Windows" appeared on the bottom of the screen during installation. Then after a minute or so the screen went black then blue and said:

Session3_Initialization_failed

etc.etc.

stop: 0x0000006f
(0xC0000020,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)

Any help would be appreciated.

FYI: I'm not sure if this is important but the cd I'm using is an custom made cd made with magiciso. The iso file I used was made a couple of years ago off of my legal copy of the Windows XP Professional Disc.

My guess would be that you are missing some hardware driver(s).

EDIT: Sorry About That. Didn't see D: as your XP partition in your post.

Change CD/DVD Drive letter to something like H:
