XP BSOD, REPAIR Intall

[everythingsm]

Hi New to Forum,

I got hit with a virus, locked my system up and now BSOD.

XP Pro
Dell Insprion 530S

I can not boot with F8 (any options). I have REPAIRED XP before so I have attempted it again but I follow the directions for REPAIR and after all files are loading into Windows folder i'm prompted to REMOVE Floppy from A Drive. I remove the REINSTALL CD and during reboot I get the same BSOD with same error Code. I can not get to the WIndows
" An Exciting new look" screen ????

Error Message
0x0000007E (0xc0000006, 0x8A36D90F, 0xBA5038B4, 0xBA5035BO)

Is the virus blocking the repair ? I do not know how to clean my system if I can not go into any F8 options.

found that my CD drive on my Insprion 530s will not read my XP REinstall Discs so I adjusted the Boot Device Config to

1) USB-CD ROm
2)CD ROM
3)Hard Drive
4) Enabled

With the Insprion 530 came XP Reinstall Disc and Drivers & Utilities Disk. I have done a XP REpair before and remember installing both disk, then installing all XP patches, intalling all Explorer upgrades etc.

I can get the USB-CD Rom to read my XP Disc but early in the transfer of Windows files to folder on C Drive there is a time where I press F6(for special drivers third party or RAID Drivers.. very quickly) the set up continues but either doesn't give me the oppty to load the Driver Disk or a message pops up

* To specify additional SCSI adapters, CD-ROM Drives, or special disk controllers for use with windows, including those for which you have a device support disk from a mass storage device manufacturer, press S

* If you do not have support disk , press ENTER


I press S, then the below message

Set Up could not find a floppy drive on your machine to load OEM drivers from Foppy disk.

* Press ESC to concel loading OEM drivers
* Press F3 to quit set up


I'm Stuck here. Not sure why XP disk are reconized but not Driver Disk

I have had problems with the CD Drive on my Insprion reading disk from day one and think that if I could get the Driver disk reconized and loaded I could get into SAFE Mode and start going after the Virus. I have a SATA drive and I read on some other post that this has been an issue with other DELL user, or SATA Drives ???

In BIOS Area

On board LANBOOT ROM (Disabled)
SATA Mode is IDE .. should I change to RAID.

Again thank for your help

Hi everythingsm,

Read here: How to troubleshoot a Stop 0x0000007E error in Windows XP

No need to change SATA to RAID until you know what is RAID and you use it.

Thanks i've read this page and i beleive that the infections possibly upset my Drivers ??

The video adapter drivers might be incompatible with Windows XP.
A device driver or a system service might be damaged.

The a bove is from the page you sent that I had read. I think I need to reinstall my drivers but XP Set up doesn't recognize my CD so I can't load in the drivers.

Ok even i faced a similar prob i put the blame on a virus but alas found its a faulty ram

Try loading a linux livecd ans see for any unknown files or recyclers else use a av rescue disk. AS for ur sata drives config is correct bu jest see replacing ur floppy disk or slipstream u r sata drivers in the winxp cd
