I have a HP pavillion that came with Vista and a recovery partition. Since I

was not real happy with Vista, I decided to remove the recovery partition and

made the jump to Win7Beta and had no issues. Due to some small compatability

issues with some older games, I installed a second HD (smaller) and installed

XP on it and had a dual boot system. All was good. I had planned on

upgrading to win 7 however due to finanancial issues wasand will not be able

to upgrade to win 7 any time soon so I decided to revert back to XP on my

larger HD (that came with Vista installed).



During the install, I'm getting the following error: Stop: 0x0000007B

(0xf78d2524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).



I know the HD is good because I was able to reload win 7 to it and I know

both XP install disks are good as I did a fresh insall on the smaller HD.



From what I can tell, It's a driver issue with the HD Controller however how

can I find one I can use during the install? According to Hitachi's website

"Current operating systems, including Windows Vista, XP and 2000, and Mac OS

X, already include pre-installed drivers for the hard disk drive itself. No

additional drivers are required." so that is no help.



What other options do I have?



Thanks
 
It means your boot drive is unavailabe.

I suspect its a sata drive and as such you need to either amend your AHCI

settings in the bios

PS Unless winxp is sp1 or later a drive larger than 127gb may not be

utilised in full

"The "Stop 7B" error occurs when your configuration is missing a component

that is required to boot your device. Examples of these components include

the PCI bus and the IDE controller."

What did you use to "install XP"?

Thanks



I've tried with both a CD and DVD drives, same result.



there have been a couple of times where it made it to the "select a

partition to install XP" only nothing was listed as a valid partition. Keep

in mind that I have reinstalled Win7 on the hard drive and is currently

working just fine.



I'm still lost has to how to fix it.

You need to supply the controller drivers to the Windows setup program,

these drivers *MUST* be supplied on a floppy diskette or they must be

incorporated (slipstreamed) into the Windows XP CD. The only other way

around the problem is to change the hard drive mode in the BIOS.

Thanks John and I just confimred via Hitachi's website that



"Windows XP and Windows 2000 do not natively include drivers for SATA

controllers (add-in or on-board), so you must install them during the

installation of the operating system. The system, motherboard, or controller

manufacturer usually supplies these drivers, either on a driver CD or

downloadable from their web site. "



"Note: the installation process specifically looks at the A: (floppy) drive

for the updated drivers. This is a limitation imposed by the installation

routine. You cannot load the drivers using any other media. "



Since this is an SATA drive, and I do not have a floppy drive per the above

info, It sounds like I either need to purchase a non SATA hardrive or

purchase a floppy drive and install it. I'll need to think about this one

but atleast I understand the issue now.



Thanks

If the computer has a floppy controller you can scrounge a floppy drive

from another machine. Or you can simply slipstream the drivers to the

Windows XP CD:

0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the

startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers when

installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, *or a virus*. [emphasis

mine]

Why not go into the BIOS screens, and set the controller to a non-AHCI

operating mode ? Then retry the install.



You don't say what Pavilion computer you have, but if there is an

Intel chipset, the SATA interface options in the BIOS may include

IDE, AHCI, RAID. For computers that ship with Vista or Win7, the

manufacturer may have set the BIOS to AHCI. If you're installing

WinXP and only running WinXP regularly on the computer, you can

try "IDE", or at least try using something other than AHCI or

RAID as your choice. Then you may get around the boot issue.
