How to Troubleshoot a Stop 0x0000007E Error in Windows XP

This link has an identical error code. The solution was achieved with a
different hard drive but no one knew why.

This link also contains an identical error code. Installing with an SP1
CD solved the problem.

This link also contains an identical error code. Slipstreaming XP with
SP2 was the solution.

Other have suggested slipstreaming which you rejected. The alternative
is to acquire a more up to date CD with the updates already incorporated
in the CD.

An exact copy of the Stop Error report is needed.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and
select option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard

Hello

I need to reinstall my OS so I removed the HD from my fairly new HP
Pavilion and attached it my notebook via an external USB enclosure.
I then combined several existing partitions using Norton Partition
Magic. Tested for surface errors, unhid the drive, formatted it and
reinstalled it in the Pavilion. Using an original XP disk, no SP I
attempted to install the OS. Just after all drivers, etc are loaded
the screen turns blue with a halt error specifying pci.sys.

I have removed every PCI component including memory and tried again
with the same results. I am looking for instructions for 2 things.
First to solve the problem, can I remove the HD, attach it to my
notebook, install the OS and then install the disk in the Pavilion?
Failing that, what else should I do?

Thanks

Doonie
