when you said that you got a BSOD during a windows install, the only thing i can think of is that you have corrupt memory. run a memory test like memtest86 to see if that is the case. it usually is when that happens.

oh, and i'm moving this to the operating systems forum

memtest86 or memtest86+ runs from either a boot diskette or a bootable CD. it runs before any operating system loads.

you can also add an entry of memtest program to Linux's bootloader, but you'll need its program file to reside in Linux root system or /boot partition.
