Hey there, I just made a new computer w/ a AMD Athlon XP 1700+, 192MB SDRAM, 6gig, and a 30gig on it. Right after remofrmatting both drives to FAT32, I installed Win XP Pro on the 6gig. After installation was complete, I tried to boot it up and I get a Blue Screen w/ the error message: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFAF73640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). I think it's a motherboard and hard drive conflict, but I personanlly do not know how to resolve this. Please HELP! PS. Microsoft's Web site did nothing for me.

it means inaccessible boot device, some reasons for this error, first of all look at the bios settings, first boot device would be hard disk 0 (or 1 you know) if this not solve your prob, maybe some viruses on your 6 gig system partition. if you plug a new hardware unplug it and try to boot again. this solve IRQ conflicts. Or try to boot your XP cd-rom and choose repair installation. Good Luck
