Hi there.
I recently bought myself a new case/mainboard: a Shuttle SN41g2. It is an
NVIDIA chipset, with integrated video and audio in a SFF m/board. I chucked
my old drives, memory, CPU in there, did a fresh install of Win2K and
everything seemed fine. However, when I came to apply SP4, the system
rebooted and I was faced with the dreaded:
stop 0x0000007b INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
I repaired Windows and tried SP3. Then SP2. Then SP1. All them caused the
same error. I did a fresh install and tried SP1. Then SP2. Then... You get
the idea. Nothing worked. So, currently I am running Windows 2000 with no
service pack which is slightly concerning giving the number of security
issues Microsoft have had since the initial Win2K release.
Has anyone any idea what I can do? I've checked all the Microsoft KBs, and
while a lot them of describe a similar problem, nothing specifically
addresses mine. Does anyone even know what's causing it? I've read that it
could be a problem with the Plug-n-play ID for the IDE chipset, but I have
no evidence this is what my problem is really.
Thanks,
Keith Railton.
