**I have the new WD 10K Raptor HD (sata) with nothing on it.
**I have the new Maxtor HD (sata) with nothing on it.
**I carried over from my old system a Samsung SV6003H HD (IDE). It had Win XP Pro on it already and boots normally in my old system.

I am getting Stop 0x0000007B ( 0xF7C46528 , 0xC0000034 , 0x00000000 , 0x00000000 ) error message when trying to boot my new build.

I have tried each hard drive hooked up seperately and installing Windows XP Pro over the top of each HD (I cannot get it to install, same stop error). The installation process is halted before I get to the selection screen (Complete Reformat, Repair, Create a partition).

My BIOS recognizes the Hard Drives and everything appears to be OK but then it errors out to the BSoD with the stop message. None of the "fixes" I have found have helped my problem.

I have RMAed the RAM, Video card, and motherboard to try and solve this issue and it has not helped. I need some assistance or I will be forced to return all of the merchandise I purchased as it does me no good if it does not work.

Any info is greatly appreciated. I have been dealing with this problem for a month now. /cry

Thanks!

Try taking out everything except one stick of ram, video card,cd drive and cpu. You should take the IDE drive and put back into the old computer and do a zero fill to completely wipe the drive(killdisk works), Then put the newly cleaned drive in to the new PC and try loading XP.

I only have one stick of ram now as I returned my 2 sticks of 512 ram thinking they where incompatable with my MB.

I am skeptical of wiping out my old hard drive because I am using it in my old PC so I have a PC to work with. I only carried it over initially to save money but I went out and bought the Maxtor 300 to take it's place.

If I wipe my old drive out I will lose some software and a PC that I would rather not do unless completely necessary.


EDIT: to mention I tried installing Raid drivers yesterday to see if for some odd reason... I have no idea. I am running out of options I think.

This Mobo has what they term Sata on the go...it runs the Sata initially as enhanced IDE so the need for Sata drivers should not be an issue.
The "How to troubleshoot stop errors" link is something I have been over extensively and found not help in there.


I greatly appreciate the feedback as I haven't had anything to go on in weeks...

I will try formatting the old IDE as a last resort but not sure why my new build isn't liking Sata or IDE for formatting purposes...Please advise...
