STOP: 0x0000007B error
I have this startup problem since I changed my motherboard and added a
hard drive. The boot process gets as far as the green Windows Vista
progress bar, then a BSOD with this error:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0x86299130, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I have tried Startup Repair from the installation DVD, but it reports
that it cannot fix the problem.
I installed Vista on the new hard drive and it works perfectly. At the
moment I am dual-booting until I fix this problem.
This is my hard drive configuration:
------------
IDE 200GB - Vista SP1 (original installation - boot error)
SATA 500GB - Vista SP1 (new hard drive and installation)
------------
Boot files for this dual-boot config are on the original drive (200GB).
I really appreciate some help with this. I am desperate to get my
original Vista installation back!
Cheers,
Marty

Re: 0x0000007B error
Hi,
Did you reinstall after changing the motherboard or just boot the old
installation on it? Likely you need to as the installation was built around
the hardware of the old one, and one or more of the system file drivers are
not compatible with the new hardware. Unless the new board was substantially
the same as the old, a reinstallation would be required.

Re: 0x0000007B error
Sadly Windows is still very much in the dark ages when it comes to upgrading
hardware. The only time i had to reinstall a linux operating system was when
i upgraded my hardware from 32 to 64 bit. Before that one install adjusted
itself to several hardware changes. Including 2 new mother boards, 3 CPU's, 3
CDROM/DVD R & RW's, 4 network cards and 3 new graphics cards. The only
drivers i had to install/update manually were the ones for the GFX cards,
other then that the OS detected the changes, loaded the correct
drivers/modules and continued to work as before.
