No AGP slot, using motherboard video
Motherboard croaked.
Replaced with MSI motherboard that does have AGP slot but I am not using it. I am using the motherboard video.
All three bootable OS's get started, but quickly crash. XP starts running the progress bar then spontaneously reboots.
Both Windows 2000 partitions boot ans show the
Windows 2000 Professional Splash screen a while, then the blue screen
STOP: 0x0000007B 0xEB81B84C 0x00000034 Zeroed out...
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
I tried installing an AGP video card but symptoms did not change.
I booted the Drive Image 7 recovery CD and it all came up and I could see all the drives and partitions.
I installed a used drive (only) to see if I could install Windows 2000 and indeed it installed okay.
How do I repair my good partitions so they boot?
Wow, That link ken gave me is awesome!!

If I had seen it before, it would NOT have helped me in this case. It does not address a failed motherboard or similar failures where one has no opportunity to "plan a swap."
Having tried "Repair" on one of the Windows 2000 partitions, (and it did not help the problem at all,) I suspect I have a video 'driver' problem. Whatever that detail is, possibly it is related to the "on board Video". The BIOS of the new motherboard allows selecting AGP or PCI. That's the only choice. I have tried both settings, with and without an AGP card. The failure remains unaffected.
I can mount the hard drive as "another drive" in a different system. From there, I can replace and files. I have a registry editor that I can actually edit the remote registry. (Resplendent Registrar)
With that said, can anyone guide me to change the failing system so it will start up in basic, raw 16 color VGA mode?
