BSOD 0x0000007B

[ale]

At some point my computer froze, when I restarted it I received the choice to start in safe mode:
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
.
.
.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt

Last Known Good Configuration (...)

Start Windows Normally"

No matter which option I choose, I will receive a blue screen of death only displayed for a fraction of a second and then it restarts displaying the same safe mode message.

I noticed the error message in the bottom reading 0x0000007B.

I read on a forum that it should help to boot from my original XP cd, but when I tried, it reported that there was no hard drive connected to my computer.

Any ideas?

I might add that I was trying to load a game in the game Civilizations 4 when my computer froze at first, if it should have any thing to say.

Spec:
Lenovo T61s
Intel 1.4 GHz Duo core
2 GB RAM
105 GB hard drive(as far as I remember)

Those T61s are really nice laptops. Here is your error code with definition:

0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus.

Are you still under warrenty?
