STOP 0x0000007B

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me with the above blue screen error which is driving slighly crazy now. This came on some months ago so have just been using my laptop since but am trying fix my computer now.

When booting up I get the above error followed by a string of other letters. I have four hard drives on my sytem and when I unplug them all and leave my boot drive plugged in it boots up fine. Plugging in any of the others leads to the BSOD. I've tried googling but this isn't really helping so hopefully someone here can assist.

I'm running XP Pro 64 with an old ASUS P5Q Turbo Motherboard. Hard drives are a mixture of SATA and an old IDE drive.

Do you think it is a windows problem and would reinstalling this help?

Many thanks in advance.

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK/F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

K
Have you run chkdsk?
If so what are the results? If not I suggest you do, sounds like a corrupt HDD on initial diagnosis
Youll need to run it on each one to check which it is

I haven't yet as I don't know how to get to the the command prompt to run this as it crashes before safe mode with command prompt gets a chacne to load?

Is there some other way to do this?

Having looked online it would appear your booting from the wrong hard drive or your hard drive is knackered.

I would try installing it on another hard drive as you mentioned and boot from that.
