Blue Screen putting old XP drive on New Machine 3

[HappyFunBall]

Bought a new computer with Vista, and used my old XP drive as a secondary.

Now I tried to boot from the XP drive hoping it would update itself to the new hardware ...

BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

STOP ....0x7B ..


Chkdsk showed nothing, as expected. I tried changing BIOS settings from RAID to SATA1, made no difference.

Any suggestions?

Of course it would not work...

XP is tied to the hardware it was installed on, any other will make it go BSOD on you...

Do a repair install on the XP partition...

Ben's suggestion is the best but you can look at some alternatives, also you might run in to Activation problems (whatever option you do), and have to talk to Microsoft to fix them.

If you intend to dual boot this might be handy.

boot the xp install cd when it prompts you for the first "recovery option say no" follow prompts you SHOULDN'T be prompted for where to install or adjustment of partitions if you see that your in the worng place , your be prompted later with another recovery option you should select this one, it will reinstall and probe hardware but keep all your existing documents desktop backgrounds icons etc etc.

Surprisingly, I got the same 0x7B Stop screen booting from the XP slipstreamed SP2 CD.

Seems like the problem is XP on the new HP Pavilion.

The old XP drive works fine in the old hardware (AMD), and works fine as a secondary drive in new machine (an HP Intel Quad with Vista Home Premium).

The 0x7B error, only denotes that you have the wrong driver for the SATA/IDE controller...

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.
