It will not install windows xp from cd and will blue screen with 0x0000007b.

This is normal because XP doesn't have the correct SATA drivers.

I tried putting a hard drive on it with Windows 7 working, one I had done off another system. However as soon as It starts up, it stops on the word "windows", again.

Also could be normal if that install isn't very close to this machine in terms of hardware and drivers, moving an OS from one machine to another is flaky at the best of times.
