This is not a Windows Update problem.

First try a search because this seems to be a very common problem
with many different solutions.

E.g. using the XP Help and Support Center (press Win-F1)
and setting the options to 50, Title Only, MSKB info on Windows 2000 only
and then searching for 0x0000007B I was able to get 41 hits.


Or switch to Google Groups and search there

http://groups-beta.google.com/groups...n2000&safe=off

(Google Groups search for
stop msft | mvp (7b OR 0x7b OR 0000007b OR 0x0000007b) group:microsoft.*.win2000
- English only (via Advanced options)
)


In the case of the OP my guess is that by installing a new drive
the drive letters were changed and this made the boot.ini file
either inaccessible or invalid.
