    Getting BSOD if I'm trying to install XP on my laptop.
    « on: May 13, 2011, 10:18:39 AM »
    I've been using this laptop for quite a while now. It started well but when I logged on I got like 30 seconds later a BSOD saying something about ataport.sys  I thought it was no biggie. I'll just reinstall windows. The thing is that I managed to delete partitions and take the whole thing down.
    I thought it would fix my BSOD error but it didn't. Now I even can't install XP on it.


    The video below is about where I get the BSOD.

    It's giving me next error codes:

    STOP: 0x0000007b (0xF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)


    Some info about my laptop:

    Processor Intel Celeron Dual Core T3500 2.10GHz 1MB cache
    14,1" (1280x800)
    2GB DDR2
    MB Intel GL40 + ICH9-M
    DVDRW DL
    320GB S-ATA 8MB cache kõvaketas


    .............
    I tried checkdisk and it didn't found a thing. Any suggestions ?

    Please help.

      Thanks for your reply.

      I tried this "Press F6 if you have to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver."

      It all went good until I followed the instructions on the screen. Now it says:

      "Setup could not find a floppy drive on your machine to load OEM drivers from floppy disk.

      *Press ESC to cancel loading OEM drivers
      *Press F3 to quit setup"

      What is this? Who the *censored* uses floppies? I have a CD that contains those drivers.

      At the point you press F6 to install additional drivers you insert the MBoard Driver CD...
      If it's a homemade driver CD or 1 with the incorrect driver then you will recieve the error message stated above...

      Did you look at the link that jason posted? I think that's the problem. You need to change the setting in the BIOS. It explains it in the link.
