Skip to content Skip to main navigation Skip to footer

Problem: 

When attempting to boot from a Windows XP partition, you receive the following blue-screen error message:

STOP 0x0000007B

Cause: 

This is a Windows configuration issue, most commonly an incorrect storage driver is being used.

Solution:

Make sure Windows is using the correct storage controller driver.

Error received when installing Windows:

Download the current storage controller drivers for your motherboard from the manufacturer's website. Make sure to use the correct drivers for the controller's mode. For example, many boards require the RAID drivers to be used if any of the connected drives are configured in RAID mode. Using the AHCI drivers when RAID mode is enabled can cause this error (even if the drives are not in a RAID setup).
