Nvm thx anyway but i found the problem and fixed it works perfect now thx for your time anyway

hey man i have the same problem how did you resolve this problem?

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

When you say you have the same problem, exactly what do you mean? Please give as many details as you can.

Regards Howard

i have that same problem..lol

In that case, you will either need to run a Windows repair as per this thread HERE, or if that doesn`t help, you may need to format and reinstall.

This is because your hard drive contains all the drivers and hardware set up for your old system, and won`t work with the new hardware.

i made a disk driver that contains ITE211 controller...my mobo came with this cd, where it gives me a choice to make bootable floppy drive disks...as windows is setting up, it says to press f6 to install a certain drive...so i press it, with the floppy inserted of course...and the computer detects the controller...installs it...and BAM...after its done...and windows about to install...i dont see the blue screen any more!!!

so for those who may have this...its about upgrading the motherboard with some certain drives...in order for some parts to work..

Ok, so I'm glad I found this thread because I'm having the exact same problem with my friends Dell Dimension E520. I tried to format the PC, but with problems involving her DVD drive (since made to work, but still dodgy) I simply took the HDD out and feformatted it in my machine, then copied over the XP setup files.

Now whenever I try and boot from the drive in my machine, its absolutely fine. However, in her machine it gives me the blue screen error described above (on the XP logo loading screen).

Seeing as I've managed to get the DVDROM drive to work, I tried to do the format on her machine (start over), but I get the Blue Screen when the formatting loader thingo says "Setup is loading windows" or something.

fbm2themex seems to have the right idea, as I'm pretty sure there is something to do with RAID thats supposed to be set up on this machine, which I am assuming formatting and installing windows on my machine (on her drive) would mess up. I just don't think Dell has these RAID driver boot-disk options or whatever.

But yeah, suggestions?

hey guys im having a similar problem. my error:

0x0000007b (0xba4cb524, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and this problem started after I repaired XP due to a bad_pool_header.

I've tried repairing xp again, ive tried fixmbr; any suggestions?

Turns out I was correct in the RAID driver assumption, and that all I need was another disk provided with her PC that she failed to acknowledge existed. I asked her for all her disks, she gave me a couple, but not the one cotaining RAID drivers.

And she blames having to get a dell guy to fix it on me.
