Boot error

I had tried Win7 32bit version and it had been working fine
on my main machine with a removable drive caddy

Booted up today and got a 0x00000e9 stop message and the OS would not
load any further


I ran a HD diagnostic and it found and re-allocated a few bad sectors...
but Win7 still would not boot.

Odd thing is I performed a fresh install on another known good drive...
with an entirely different caddy
and got the same error upon first boot.

Don't understand this as I made no changes to the system


FWIF: The same machine also runs XP, Vista and Linux
and they all run fine...
the problem is specific to Win7


Machine is an AMD 3800+ dual core
3 gigs of RAM

NVidia chipset

FWIW: I tried even one more install...
but this time I did not format the drive...
and it worked.
