BSOD during winXP install on MSI 915G(very urgent)

[Whiz_z]

hello, sorry for my urgent post and my english too, its not my native so i hope you will understand me

Yesterday, i have bought a new MSI 915 G combo mobo, celeron D 2,5 Ghz and a corsair memory. Everything was OK, but if I boot from CD and want to install WIN XP pro sp1 , after a few moments i have blue screen of death. Code is:

STOP 0x0000007B  (= INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE )

What i have tried:

-flash the newest bios

-install the newest RAID and ATAPI drivers during XP instalů (F6 when install starts)

-replace the memory module to another bank

-change the corsair memory module to mushkin memory from my second PC

-check all cables

-change HDD for another

-experiments with BIOS settings which i found on a few forums where people have the same problem. Some of them solved the problem with replacing memory, or turn off the onboard LAN on Audio and others. But i cannot, still the same problem

I have HDD on primary master, jumper is on a MASTER, CDrom on secondary master (but this board has only one serious IDE controller, and the second and third are RAID i think)

You can read, that i have tryed a lot of, i can solve it that i can do my warranty, but i affraid, that the shop send me a new MSI 915g board and i will have the same problem because of on a MSI forums many people has it.

Thanks for any help a lot!

Ok... first off make sure you are using a "proper" original, unmodified Windows XP CD.

Are you sure you are using the correct settings in the BIOS & with the physical cables?

Quote from the product on the MSI site:

On-Board IDE / SATA 

• Dual Ultra DMA 66/100 IDE controllers integrated in ICH6.

- Supports PIO, Bus Master operation modes.

- Can connect up to two Ultra ATA drives.

• Serial ATA/150 controller integrated in ICH6.

- Up to 150MB/sec transfer speeds.

- Can connect up to four Serial ATA devices.

IDE RAID

• VIA6410 IDE RAID Controller

- Two Ultra DMA 66/100/133 IDE Controllers.

- Supports RAID 0, 1 and 0+1.

- Connect up to 4 Ultra ATA 133 devices.

It would be better to use a SATA hard drive, but such is life lol

ummmm........

Try using the HD on the primary/first IDE socket (they're green as I remember) and have the CD-ROM on the normal IDE socket, as the CD-ROM drive shouldn't be on the IDE RAID controllers at all (which seems to be the case from what I got from your post).

As odd as this may seem, you should find it will work better.

Let us know either way if it works or doesn't.

Thanks for your reply,

sadly i have IDE HDD.

I have switched HDD and CDrom as you said, but nothing new

I remember that in the Bios of some old mainboard, there will be a configuration like "Enable/Disable...Virus...", if you enable this, your system installation will be terminated.

Hope this info can be helpful.
