Stop Error 0x0000007b

Errm, I dont know what happened with my post... it seems to be kinda buggy in
here too...

This forum isnt beta is it?

Sorry I wasn't quite clear. What I meant was that the 7b error does not care
what kind of cable or drive you use. I assumed the "IDE driver" was vague
enough to imply both PATA+SATA controllers.

Did you try the measures suggested in my first reply to this thread? How
about unplugging all the SATA drives and trying install on PATA drive? After
that I can only think of two: Get A PCI(e) controller for which you can find
a driver that has the txtsetup.oem or somesuch so the Vista setup can read
it before it starts to look for the drives.

I'd also try getting the boot log by enabling it from the boot menu before
the 7b comes. It could contain something useful, or not.

First of all, I want to apologize for the 4 posts that I seem to have
posted... i honestly don't know why it came up 4 times... maybe because I was
using Firefox? Again, I'm sorry. The first post is really long, and having 3
more certainly isn't much fun to scroll through...

As to your post droid, I was under the impression that SATA and IDE channels
are two separate things, as they are controlled by 2 different controllers in
XP.

Unfortunately, I do not have a PATA drive to install Vista onto.

I tried enabling boot logging again, and couldn't find ntbtlog.txt anywhere
on my machine after booting back to XP and searching the entire computer...

I have since my last post, udated the BIOS, and chipset drivers, as well the
RAID drivers. I have installed all recommended updates on my XP install (
thanks to Vista corrupting my XP install ) after a completely fresh install
of XP.

So at this point, I think I have had 0x0000007B at least 40 times. I really
want to see what this new OS can do, as my system should make it fly in all
it's glory... I'm running an FX-55, DFI NF4 SLI-DR, 2 x WD Raptors in RAID 0
on the nVidia controller, a Pioneer DVR-109, 2 x BFG 7800 GTX in SLI, 2Gb ( 4
x 512 ) OCZ PC3200 Plat. Rev. 2 and an HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS soundcard.

All drivers are as up to date as they can be... I really don't know what
else to do.

I guess I'll just have to w8 until the final build is released to the public.

Thanks agin for all your help, and if you think of anything else, please
post it.. I'll try anything at this point...

Cheers,


Victor

Well if "anything" goes then it may or may not help to get some cheap SATA
controller such as Si3112/4.. Got one of these from ebay at some $20-30.
Then get the driver from silicon image pages and see it has the
txtsetup.oem. Then just point the driver to the installer.

I haven't tried to install vista on my SI yet so I don't know if it works. I
only know the SI3112/4 work atleast when the driver is after OS has
installed.

The DFI has the Sil 3114 built in, so perhaps I can use that? But I heard
that Sil haven't released a Vista compatible driver...

Thanks again,

Hey again, just sharing my continued problem installing Vista...

Well, it seems that Vista still doesn't like my system, evewn though I have
now tried to install 5456.

I get the same error after the first reboot.

The sad thing is that the Vista upgrade advisor has told me that my system
is Vista compatible.

Nvidia have released updated drivers, which I used, and the rest of my
system is compatible. It does not mention ANY IDE devices. None.

I tried all the previous suggetions, like disabling signature checks, enable
boot logging... etc etc... none works for me. The boot logging doesn't even
work. There is no ntbtlog.txt in the root of the installation drive, or any
drive for that matter.

Man I sure wish Linux was more of a gaming platform, cause I have had it
with MS. I realize this is BETA software, but ffs, my system is by no means
unique or out of the ordinary.

Well,

I get the same error in build 5456.

After Vista Upgrade Advisor told me that my system was compatible.

Nvidia have released updated drivers for vista, but still doesn't work.

5456 is supposed to have nvidia drivers integrated from what i have read.

Linux is starting to look pretty sweet right about now.

Is there some way to report this error to MS? Manually I mean, as I don't
get any log of whats happening. Just the 0x0000007b stop error BSOD.

I sure as hell am not going to pay $300-$500 for Vista when I can't even see
what it looks like. It'd be like buying a car without test driving it. Just
aint gonna happen...

Any other suggetions, aside from learning Linux? lol i would really
appreciate some help from some MS folks. It would go a long way towards
keeping me as a customer....

My brother had a problem VERY similar to this, if not exactly the same when
he tried to install Vista 64-bit on his machine, which happens to be an
NVIDIA based chipset. The sucker would just not boot after installation on a
RAID 0 SATA setup, it was like the SATA drivers were being erased from the
HDD while the install was rebooting. It made a mess of his WinXP
installation too, that wouldn't boot either, kept getting a 7b or NTLDIR is
missing!

My solution..... OK it may not be available to you all, but I went into my
brother's bios when he was out with friends, so he couldn't sit there
bitching and putting me off while I worked... in the advanced settings I
found a switch that allows you to choose the mode of the SATA disks
installed in your system... Though you need SATA disks to be set up as a
RAID 0 for the installation to work, once it comes to the point where it
won't boot into windows when it should, restart, go into bios, look for a
setting that lets you change from SATA mode to IDE mode, and it boots no
problem at all... did on my brother's machine anywho... hope this helps some
of y'all :-D
