BSOD ox0000007b 0xb84cf524, oxc000034, 0x00000000 after xp upgrade

[wealthwise]

Lately I have been having some problems with my XP Pro install, so 3 days ago rather than do a clean install I opted to do a reinstall with upgrade path, everyone went fine till it rebooted and up came the error, I started up from the boot CD, did another install this time successful, and somehow managed to preserve my files and old system files. I would very much like to be able to keep the old system install so I have been looking for a solution, I understand this stop error could be a boot sector Virus, I have scanned the boot sector with Avira and nothing, I have run chkdsk /f and also /r, I have tried to repair the install using the install CD, twice now, I understand it could also be due to drivers missing or SATA not set in BIOS which I reset to default, but that doesn't make sense since I can boot with the other install just fine, I"m at my wits end and I really don't want to reinstall my 100 gigs+ worth of programs and would like to preserve the old install, any ideas? I also have Hiren's CD if that helps.
Thanks

The 4th post here has the exact same stop error as yours. http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=161289. So it may have something to do with the mbr being infected / stuffed why you're getting this stop error

You could try the mbrfix thats on the AVG site. See if that fixes it http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=147645

Not too sure if it works with XP tho

Only thing is I dont know if its safe to get it from Cnet. Some of their installers install malware

This maybe safer

What you said in the first post - since I can boot with the other install just fine

What other install? Is the PC thats crashing a copy of another install or something? Or did you put a hdd from one system into this one thats crashing?

No I installed a working copy on same partition of the same HDD.

I haven't tried fixboot from Recovery Console, so I will try that first.

Well ran MbrFix, still no joy, looks like I'm out of options.
