From: sbring on 29 Aug 2005 15:38 Having some trouble with display drivers and other things on an XP Pro PC with a A7V266-E motherboard without the Promise RAID controller, I decided to try a Windows repair. This was an OEM installed XP (no CD) so I used a retail CD "belonging" to another installation. Everything seemed to go well, and after finishing the install app rebooted. Instant result: BSOD with error 7B. One of the error parameters is 34, which according to MS indicates typically indicates "Disks or storage controllers that are failing, defective, or improperly configured or storage-related drivers or programs (tape management software, for example) that are not fully compatible with Windows XP Professional". This seems to me a little surprising, since Windows has just finished installing on the same HD it should boot from. I can see that the HD is accessed a few times before the BSOD. I am able to boot from the Windows CD and access the repair console, so I can get at the disk that way, but I have no idea what to do. I have read lots of MS texts concerning the 7B error, but they point in too many directions to be of any help. I suspect an IDE driver problem, but I have no idea if forcing a driver on XP would help, or which driver I should use in that case. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome! I'm stuck.
