BSOD 7B stop message....how to fix?!

[lordfsa]

As in the title, im faced with a permanent 7B BSOD stop error message on my pavillion laptop. My current knowledge indicates that is a boot loader error, and as you may naturally expect, i am desperate to fix it!

I have tried using the advanced startup options to use the last configurations which worked and safe mode, but i get the same BSOD stop error.

I placed my hard disk in another laptop and it boots fine, i have even been able to log in and use it as normal. However, when i put a hard disk running a perfectly fine copy of windows xp home to my pavillion laptop, i get the same 7B stop error.

My pavillion refuses to boot from CDs as well.

It seems to me the problem isnt with my hard disk and the OS version on it, but with the remaining components on my laptop...but what could be the criminal?


Would anyone be able to shed some light on my problem? Of course, I will provide more details as requested.

Hoping for some speedy responses or suggestions.

Regards,


FSA

I had a 0x0000007B stop error when I moved a drive to another computer and tried using a different OS repair disk - I was inadvertently using XP Pro to attempt to repair an XP Home based hard drive.

I finally noticed I was using the wrong OS and tried using an XP Home restore CD and it worked. Too many computers I guess.
