im having some problems and so im typing this up on my mums crappy thing /sigh
well stupidly i decided to upgrade to xp pro from xp home and all the setup etc went fine in windows. however when it starts properly installing after the reboot i keep getting a "STOP" bluescreen saying:
STOP: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x80509F7A, 0xf7abea84, 0xf7abe780)
i have tried doing everything it says on the blue screen and also from the MS KB for 0x0000007e errors but to no avail. when i try booting from my xp cd and making a fresh install or try to access the recovery console apparently i dont have any accessible hard drives which is clearly a lie because xp setup boots from the HD at startup if i dont boot from the cd.
i thought that my HD might have failed but i ran some tests from my manufacturer (using a boot cd from their website) and it said most stuff is okay. there were 1 or 2 little things the test failed but it said thats most likely due to me not having shut windows down properly the last....well a lot of times.....
anyway if anyone could help that would be great. so far google hasnt helped at all and i cant seem to get my head around this at all
hardware wise i have an abit nf-7s motherboard with the latest BIOS available and the hard drive is a seagate barracuda (this as far as i can tell: http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsa...81,586,00.html)
and ummm yeah i dunno wtf to do
ps sorry about any bad typing/grammar in this post or indeed perhaps its location.....im currently in "angry type" mode
