BSOD "STOP 0x0000007B" after installing WIndows XP on external HDD

I got a bsod saying:

STOP: 0x000007B (0xF78A2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I know this seems to have been asked multiple times, but Í think I'm a different case. I just installed winxp professional on an external hdd, linux worked on that disk in the past. Now I get the bsod.

Does anyone know what has coused this. I've reinstalled windows severaltimes and deleted all partitions, any suggestions?

Windows XP does not support booting from a USB drive without some tweaks. There also seems to be an issue with some hardware no matter what. While the system recognizes the USB drive as it starts to boot, it drops the USB connection and the boot process fails. There are several sites that detail what is needed. Here is one to get you started USB boot (mirrored here)
