pnpatrick Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi, Sorry for being a noob if I am being one but I've been looking all over the forum and I don't think anyone is having the same problem as I am, or have gotten a solution to it on this forum. So I have 4 partitions on my disk. Partition 1 is recovery Partition 2 is Windows Vista Partition 3 is Storage and Partition 4 is Mac OS X 10.5.1 kalyway Partition 4 is set to active. So when I boot up, the Darwin x86 bootloader comes up and I can either choose to boot from partition 1, 2, 3, or 4. I would either boot up from partition 4 to boot on Mac or partition 2 to boot to the vista boot loader. And so if I choose partition 2, I end up at the vista boot loader. And it gives me the option to boot to vista. I press enter and the vista loading screen comes up. But when the bars start scrolling, it stops, and then the Blue screen of death shows up. Tells me to like run chkdsk /f which I have already and it says STOP: 0x0000007b (p1,p2,p3,p4) And so I don't know what to do in order to boot successfully to my Windows Vista. All your help is appreciated Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116498-0x0000007b-bsod-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpranojo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 did you set your sata mode to ahci in the bios? thats what happened to me and switched it back to ide and i was able to boot into vista.

pnpatrick Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 How do I do that in BIOS? I have an Acer Aspire 5610 My hard drive is IDE atm. EDIT: I don't think I have SATA Mode at all in my BIOS.

dharma freak Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Your boot partition is f'ed after installing osx. You need to do the following. 1. Get the windows vista cd and let it boot into the startup repair. repair the boot partition for the windows vista per the instructions found elsewhere. if you dont have the install cd use the recovery cd that came with your computer or borrow one from a friend. 2. Once you repair the partition google easybcd. download it and install it, this is your friend. 3. use this tool to set up a boot order for osx. 4 shut down and reboot you should be able to reboot into osx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116498-0x0000007b-bsod-error/#findComment-834879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I don't think I have SATA Mode at all in my BIOS. did you browse through the tabs in bios? its somewhere in there. it supposed to say "SATA mode: IDE/AHCI" thats what mine says, i forgot what tab it is Your boot partition is f'ed after installing osx.

I have a toshiba and if thats like any other recovery disk sold with oem vista then you have two options restore the full disk image or use the startup utility to repair the disk. You choose the latter to repair the mbr. OEMS do not include the full installation which is why I refer to the recovery disk as such Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116498-0x0000007b-bsod-error/#findComment-836612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
