RyanVM Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I recently builded a new computer from scratch. I thought i had everything rite. but then, as i try to install windows XP.i get this errorhow can i fix this??This is often caused by bad RAID/SATA drivers. How are you loading them during textmode setup?and my front panel lights arnt glowing....how do i turn them on??Flip the connectors around on the motherboard.

The008 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I got this screen when I cloned my friend partition, with WinXP OEM from Semp Toshiba. When I tried to boot into Virtual PC I got this screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbm2themex Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) This is often caused by bad RAID/SATA drivers. How are you loading them during textmode setup?it gives me 2 options, "tab" to c the post, and "del" to run setup....i insert the xp cd, press tab, it displays my hd, 2 cd roms, n then it goes to the windows xp setup....just wen its about to install, the blue screen pops out...

allen2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Are you trying to install on a raid sata controller ?7B error is windows can't mount boot bartition.You need either to add the drivers when installing or modify in the bios if it's a sata drive the sata mode: some bios have up to 3 mode for sata and drivers can be different for each one.

fbm2themex Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 when the mobo scan devices, everything goes great, but then i get this errormaybe this is the cause of the blue screen...right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 You're using an old ata cable (40pin) you should use a newer (80pin). It could be the problem.Also if this doesn't solve your problem, try to put the hard drive on the first controler and master. From the lastest screenshot, it's detected on the secondary controller and some motherboard doesn't like to have a cdrom as first device on first controller.

Jeremy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Uhm, yeah, higher bandwidth needed there! 80-pin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbm2themex Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 In order for the blue screen to go away, i switched the IDE cable for the CD rom to SECONDARY IDE....leaving HDD as primary...that worked...but now, im having that black screen problem....i successfully installed windows. its working perfect. but theres a problem...when i took the windows cd out, restarted the computer, it wouldnt loud, it would just stay black, with a white blinking underscore....then i inserted the windows cd back, restarted, n bam, windows started running...which is really wierd.....how can fix this problem?? what should i do?

Mordac85 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 That's because you're actually booting off the CD. I'd recommend starting over and completely deleting the existing system partition before selecting it for the install. That way you'll ensure the MBR is copied and bootable.

Takeshi Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 The blinking cursor indicates the HD's boot sector cannot be found.Check the BIOS is booting HD first.Then you could still try the Recovery Console's commands:fixbootfixmbrbootcfg /rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks for your feedback.The bootcfg command corrects the bootl.ini file. In your case I didn't expect it was boot.ini error, otherwise you might see the classic "NTLDR is missing" message. So you don't really need to use it now Windows is booting.I'd buy a new cable. It's not expensive. Until you try it you can never be sure if the BSOD will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 YesI'd have bought an 80-pin cable for the CD-ROM too. I think it's backward compatible and you could use it on the HD for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
