cdob Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 after reboot i have:NTLDR Is MissingThat's at early boot stage, there is MBR, partition boot sector involved so far.There is no windows driver involved so far.Did you changed anything else?May be a strange BIOS. Which hardware do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdob Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 It seems like after reboot in bios changed the order of HDD.Boot order was IDE first. At IDE emualtion the first hd was the WD SATA hard disk.At AHCI mode, the first IDE hard disk is the Maxtor. Hence the ntldr not found.I guess you reconnected the maxtor and changed boot order in the meantime.Now working fine but it seems like that its need more time to boot.Yes, there is a time out at ahcix86.sys. The driver wait for late drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sp0iLedBrAt Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Can you find a way to post the exact BSOD for closer reference?Edit: Which also got me thinking: this topic is no different that the other two Fernando 1 works on. Is there any special reason why it shouldn't be sticky? Just a thought Edited March 17, 2010 by Sp0iLedBrAt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhc Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 The Day Walker!, the 7B Stop Code says that Setup cannot find the install drive. It is usually a text mode driver problem. Since you did not attach your Last Session, as requested in bold red above, there is not much more I can say. Please attach it and we will take a look. Enjoy, John.
