STOP: 0x000007B xp setup

[Gbailey3]

Hello, I've been having trouble doing a complete installation of windows XP. I have checked everywhere and have yet to find a situation quite like mine. My computer has been running a corrupt windows XP for a while. I boot from my install XP pro black edition disk but during the setup a get the BSOD screen. My error message reads

STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8B54524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
*There is not a INESSESIBLE BOOT DEVICE message*

The thing is I do not get the message unless I'm trying to install Xp.
Thanks for reading and any feedback will help.

Looks like some kind of hardware fault. It is necessary that you must simply disconnect all the connected hardware and then test back. There can be printer or any pci card connected to your pc. Or even the lan cable. Just disconnect everything and then run the setup back. I am sure that will be more than enough to fix the problem you are facing. Then run the setup back from scratch and test again.

The error that you are mentioned lies with the boot device. It looks the system is not able to access the system partition. You just need to ensure that the hard drive is detected well or not. Go in the pc and check the cable connectivity. You can check inside bios also whether the driver is installed or not. Or else this kind of issue will trouble you more. It is necessary that your hard drive must be detected and boot device order must be set properly.

Try to change the disc. I am talking about the installation cd. Just replace the same and then check back. I think that will be enough helpful for you. Just arrange a different installation media and then test back. That will be quiet enough to fix the issue you are facing. Sometime the problem lies with the cd which does not has proper drivers to access your hard drive.
