Re: 0x0000007B


At this point I would have to play with the unit to see what is going on.

Are there any BIOS updates for the system?

I would just install XP Pro on the HDD with no USB flash disk attached. XP
Pro install should have reconized the USB flash disk as a removable device.

When I converted a USB memory stick to a virtual floppy disk, it booted as
A:, but the XP recovery image that I installed on the memory stick did not
recognize either the hard drive or the CD-ROM drive.

I didn't seem to have the option of installing XP Pro without the XPe
bootable USB memory stick, since the bootable image on the XP install CD
trapped before it got going.

USB devices are not available in the BIOS boot order, instead there is an
extraordinary option to boot from a USB device before the devices specified
in the boot order.

Normally USB drives are enumerated after the fixed disks. But when USB boot
is enabled, and one is used as a boot device, the BIOS insists on enumerating
it first. Hence the USB drive is assigned drive letter C:, instead of being
assigned a drive letter E through Z. Hence the issue with XP Pro being
installed as disk D, and refusing to boot when enumerated as disk C.

XP setup doesn't seem to provide any means to indicate what it has
determined about the fixed/removable status of the USB memory stick. After
XP Pro is installed, it does show the USB drive in C: is removable.

In any case, the whims of XP Pro are irrelevant. Installing XP Pro was only
supposed to be the means to an end. Running TAP under XP Pro still resulted
in a STOP: 0000007B error.

The two devices which Intel provided drivers for do end up with question
marks inside of Device Manager in XP Pro. The fact that XP pro runs fine
without those drivers shows that they are irrelevant. (When I did install
the drivers on XP pro, one of the installs actually failed -- I believe the
PCI device number in the INF file is wrong.)

TAP reports 63 devices, and the resulting XPe image has 94 drivers (.sys
files installed in windows\system32\drivers). The XP Pro image has 165
drivers. I assume that one or more of those extra drivers is the cause of my
problem.

Just determining the XPe component or components associated with a few of
those drivers inside of Target Designer is a bit of an ordeal. Of the two
that I tried, one (vgasave.sys) wasn't even available in any XPe component.

Is there any better way to attack this problem?

Video and audio are the only components missing, which is typical. Doesn't
sound like there are any special bus driver components.
