Re: Stop error 0x0000007B

After 10 hours of nothing, I found the fix.

when reinstalling with my XP SP2 CD, apparently the driver for the hard
drive controller was not able to be "auto-detected." i downloaded the
correct driver to a floppy and then installed it by pressing F6. THEN (The
key thing i was not doing all day) I REINSTALLED windows again. only after
that combination was i able to get my computer working. i am exhausted!

Background information on Stop Error message

0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the
startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers
when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus.
Source: http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

What changes were made to hardware / software prior to running Disk
CleanUp?

What is your position regarding a Windows XP CD? Does the CD include
SP2?

What is the computer make and model?

One of the suggestions in the first link is to run chkdsk but if you try
this be warned you can cause further file corruption as well as solve
the problem. If you have important data files you need to back these up
first. This can often be done by placing the hard drive in a second
computer as a slave there obviating the need to boot from the
problematic drive.

Morgan,

I also have the exact same problem as Aaron. However, I followed the
instructions from the Dell website and the problem is not fixed.

I cannot load XP at all. My stop error is 0x0000007b (0xf789e524,
0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Thank you for your help
