Re: STOP Error on Install Repair

Hello!

My Pentium 4 / Intel Mobo would not power on one day, so I replaced it with a Biostar NF520-A2 w/ AMD X2 64 4000+ Processor w/ 1 GB DDR2 PC4200 (2 X 512 in Dual Channel configuration 160 GB Seagate SATA drive). I installed my old hard drive and put the Windows XP CD ROM in the drive and proceded to repair the installation (as instructed at http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm under XP Repair Install). The computer reboots, proceeds with the Windows XP Screen with the moving bar along the bottom and then produces the following STOP Error:

STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF7591750, 0xF791042C, 0xF7910128)

BIOS Caching is turned off.
I can't even get in via Safe Mode.

I had another hard drive, so I installed a clean copy onto that one and it works just fine. I have files on my old hard drive that have not been backed up, so a clean install could be an option, but a tedious, long, drawn out one.

Slave the old hard drive to your new working install of XP. Copy your data over. If you prefer to use the old hard drive for this machine, burn the data files to CD/DVD-R (*not* RW). Then remove your temporary hard drive, install your new drive, and do a clean install of Windows. Repair Installs do not always work when the hardware is too different and apparently you will need to do the clean install.
