    STOP: 0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0x85B1F0AE, 0x8654FBA0, 0x8654F89c)

    Volsnap.sys – Address 85B1F0AE base at 85B1A000, DateStamp 477918f92

    The error message suggests that a file is missing.

    ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND winerror.h
    # The specified module could not be found.

    The Volsnap.sys file refers to the 'Volume Shadow Copy' service. So
    there are two approaches I would use to solve this

    1- Boot into safe-mode, load up 'services.msc' (from the run menu
    option), and disable the 'Volume Shadow Copy' service (right click,
    select properties, and disable)

    2- Boot into recovery console, and replace Volsnap.sys with the
    original one on the install cd. This should be in your %SYSTEM_ROOT%
    \system32\drivers folder.

    Hope this helps
