Problem: attempted to install (I know, should have backed up and done complete install - mea culpa) upgrade from Win2K-XP Pro. Everything went well for most of the install, but had a couple of pop-ups I did not understand relating to missing files, specifically: viaide.sys, 2gmgsmt.sf2, ipsecw2K.sys, and a problem with missing Zio (smart card reader) files. I was given the option to go ahead on each of these popups and I did (after trying to locate the missing files). The machine rebooted two or three times, with success, and then after XP went through its registry process, it rebooted once again (after saying the install was complete). Lo and behold, the blue screen of death.
I am almost positive this is XP ide drive related, since I can boot to DOS and see all the data on the drives. The problem is, I have no way to fix it that I can see. I was able to download a via XP IDE patch, but it can be run from windows only.
Any tips?
Here is the text of blue screen:
A problem has been detected and windows had shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart computer and follow these steps (check for viruses, remove new hard drives, check hard drive configuration, run chkdsk, then restart.
Technical info: STOP 0x0000007B (oxF7946640, oxC0000034, ox00000000, 0x00000000)
Tips? It won't start in any mode except for DOS.
Ross - direct email is OK since I check that via laptop
