Stop: 0x00000007b message

[kilopapa]

Hi, I have a Windows XP machine and no matter what "slave" hard drive I put on the IDE controller cable I receive the below message. I have searched the web and Microsoft sites and I have found

ALL the articles about the 'inaccessable boot device' stop error but I don't get this.
One article says if you can't boot, put the offending drive in the 'slave' mode to recover the data. But it is the slave mode that doen't work! All 3 drives work fine on another XP machine,

have changed cables, etc. Any ideas what to check?
Thanks,
Keith
