Runnign xp error

Post by nigmah »

Hi im trying to get windows running in ubuntu but everytime i try to i get this error

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x00000012 (0x00000001,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)

I believe it may be related to a bios error i get every time i start up ubuntu

MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
(though its missing a couple number at the beggining in [ ])

please help and much thanks for help!

for future refrence of anyone else in the future heres how i fixed this error
when reaching the grub screen select your ok press E press E again on your kernel(first one) append acpi_skip_timer_override on the end, press enter, press b, and everything should go fine.
Now since no one even tried to help me im not going to bother finding out again how to make these changes permanent but just look on the ubuntu forums
