Stop 0x0000007b before safemode

Have two ThinkPad T61p Type 6459-CTO. Both running Windows XP Pro. I cannot boot into safe-mode on either of them.
Pressing F8 during boot does give me the option but they always blue screen before reaching the safe-mode desktop with a stop 0x0000007b.
They do boot to the regular desktop
I need to access safe mode for software repair
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A stop 7b indicates the mis-match between bios and the hard drive controller driver.
Check bios for AHCI status.
F1 at post into bios
Config -> Serial ATA
Change from AHCI to Compatable or vice versa and then boot.
Correct IMSM driver here:

  • STOP 0x0000007B after IDE mode on SATA 1.5 HDD / Endless Boot Time

    Lenovo IdeaCentre K410
    - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    - ST31000524AS 1 TB
    Added by me:
    - Maxtor 6Y120M0 100 GB (Diamondmax Plus 9 SATA 1.5 Gb/s)
    Alternate boot methods attempted:
    - (DVD) Lenovo OneKey 7.0 Recovery
    - (DVD) Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (FPP)
    - (DVD) Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (FPP)
    - (DVD) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (LiveCD)
    - (USB) Windows 10/Technical Preview
    - (1 TB HDD) Windows 10/Technical Preview
    === DESIRED RESULT
    I want to use OneKey 7.0 (the OEM's "system default" recovery/rescue system) to install its Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit onto the 6Y120M0.  I will then use a USB volume to install Windows 10/Technical Preview on the ST31000524AS.
    === PROBLEM
    Whenever the 6Y120M0 (Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 1.5 Gb/s) HDD is attached to a SATA controller, any boot method other than (DVD) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (LiveCD) hangs endlessly at startup. 
    Thus, the OneKey 7.0, Windows 7 FPP, and Windows 10 boot media would show an animated Windows logo at startup and animate endlessly.  The HDD light would remain solid.  No further progress was made even when the computer was left alone for 35 minutes.
    This issue occurred with or without the ST31000524AS 1 attached.  If the 6Y120M0 was disconnected, bootup using any of the alternate methods above proceeded successfully and the HDD light would not be solid, whether or not the ST31000524AS was attached.
    An interesting side note is that when the ST31000524AS was originally being used with the OEM-provided Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, I was able to attach the 6Y120M0 and it would be detected as an extra volume when booting directly to the ST31000524AS.
    === ACTION TAKEN
    Sometimes a solid or hyperactive HDD light can be indicative of HDD failure.  Thus, I sought diagnostic tools from the HDD's manufacturer since I couldn't even boot into a Windows recovery environment to run CHKDSK.
    Since Maxtor is now under the care of Seagate and my MaxBlast CD from the early new millenium doesn't seem to work anymore, I downloaded SeaTools for DOS onto a CD and attempted to use it.  No HDDs were found.  It is also interesting to note that
    the ST31000524AS could not be found by this software when it was attached.
    After searching around on Google, I found a resource that suggested changing a BIOS setting in order to make the HDDs visible to the diagnostic utility.  Apparently, this is a setting (which I've never used before) called "SATA Mode." 
    My BIOS gives me one of three options for this setting:  "IDE" (which I recognize as the parallel ribbons I used to install on my HDDs as a teen), "AHCI," and "Disabled."  The setting was on "AHCI," and the
    resource recommended changing it to "IDE."  After doing this, SeaTools detected the HDDs.
    A long scan of the 6Y120M0 found no defects.  There were no SMART warnings.
    However, I noticed something curious after running the diagnostic.  With the BIOS still set to "IDE mode," all of the alternate boot methods mentioned above were now working with the 6Y120M0 attached and there was no longer a solid HDD light.
    I was able to boot into the OneKey 7.0 environment successfully and install a new image on the 6Y120M0.  However, upon attempting to boot into the new installation, I received a STOP 0x0000007B error.  Switching back to "AHCI" mode, I
    was able to boot into Windows 7 on the 6Y120M0; however, the problem previously experienced of hanging using any other boot method persisted.
    I followed instructions elsewhere on these forums to have dump files written to %SystemRoot%\MiniDump, but was not successful - even after making sure that certain services were off, creating the folder on my own, and ensuring the 'Everyone' had full access.
    === INFERENCES MADE
    I explored several resources - including this forum - to try to find others with similar issues and further understand the significance of the SATA mode setting.  The 6Y120M0's connection points look identical to those used by the ST31000524AS and the
    DVD drive, so I am certain it is SATA.  The posts I came across were from users who suspected that there was something wrong with AHCI and that it was necessary to use IDE, but I read other comments that stated that AHCI is supposed to work just fine
    with SATA devices.  Many of the issues remotely similar to my own did not seem to have a definitive solution.
    Further research into the specific STOP error in Microsoft's Knowledge Base helped me learn that Windows apparently only installs device drivers necessary for use at the time of installation.  Thus, if you're using SATA, it's not going to install IDE
    drivers, and switching modes will cause the STOP error as a result. 
    (source:  knowledge base article # 922976)
    Unfortunately, almost all of the references I see to this issue on Microsoft's website, Microsoft's communities, and even non-Microsoft websites seem to refer to this problem in the context of switching from IDE mode to SATA.  In this case, I am trying
    to switch what my OEM probably intended to be SATA to an IDE.  This leads me to believe that installing the IDE controller drivers on the Windows 7 installation while in ACHI mode and then going back to IDE mode will resolve this issue, but I have not
    been able to find IDE drivers from Microsoft's website.
    I wonder if it would be possible to use my Windows 7 Home Premium FPP (full packaged product) to do either a repair or direct driver installation on the 6Y120M0 while running in IDE mode.  I am thinking about doing it, but haven't done it yet because
    I'm worried that installing drivers from a FPP may alter the licensing of the OEM provided product.  I want to fully utilize the OEM-provided operating system (since I paid for it!) without the need to bust out my FPP.  Since the licenses and activation
    processes are tied to motherboards, the HDD is the only change that is being made, and the OEM's recovery software is fully willing to install to a non-OEM HDD, I see no reason why this can't continue.
    (I'm saving the FPP for a special occasion.)
    === DESIRED ASSISTANCE
    I'm 26.  Back in "my day," we used IDE to connect to our storage, CD-RWs to back things up, Notepad to build our websites, computers that actually made a beep when you turned them on, and master boot records to get them going.  (another
    thing I just discovered - some acronym that sounds like "Yuffie?"  Isn't that a Final Fantasy VII character?  whatever it is, I guess it's now replacing BIOS as we know it.)
    My dry attempt at humor notwithstanding, I feel that this is a potential learning experience.  I need you to explain to me (and anyone else who comes across this search result in Google - OOPS! - I mean Bing) what is /specifically/ happening and why. 
    Please try to resist the urge to tell me not to use hard drives from 13 years ago.
    Now, while I wait for a reply, I think I'll go play a little Age of Empires II.  At least that's SOMETHING from a familiar time that still wants to work for me. .. well, as long as you remember to kill the explorer.exe process first, at least.
    *snicker*
    Thank you very much in advance for any insight you are able to provide.  :-)

    Hi Shane,
    Thanks for your detailed description.
    Just as your inference, it caused by incompatible driver for different device.
    Let's try this:
    locate to the registry below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci
    change its value as "0", and then boot into computer, change SATA mode to AHCI mode.
    After that, check the result.

    Hello
    Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
    With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
    I was like ????#$%?&*(???
    Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
    Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! -  is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
    The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
    How to disable it ??
    Simple question - can't find the answer !

    Helllooo !?
    sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
    Thanks !!

  • STOP 0x0000007B Blue Screen Error after updating drivers for my P67A-C45

    Hi!
    I recently updated the drivers for my mainboard MSI P67A-C45. I did this with the update utility that follows this product. I choose the "update all" function so I'm not really sure what was actually updated but I remember seeing the bios and my realtek network drivers in the list of stuff being updated. Anyway, during (what I think was) the update of my BIOS (a CMD window appeared and started executing tasks) my computer suddenly restarts. I wasn't really paying attention during this process but it seemed like it wasn't finished and that the restart was unintentional.
    Now during boot I get a Blue Screen message at the "Starting Windows" logo. The Blue Screen flashes by and my computer restarts instantly. It's a STOP 0x0000007B message which probably has to do with the drivers I just tried to update.
    I have Windows 7 64-bit and I have tried the startup repair and the system restore function without any success.
    Any ideas?
    Can I revert these updates or maybe install the original drivers without formatting my hdd? I have the original CD that came with the board.
    Best Regards
    Victor

    AHCI is a mode setting for the SATA controllers. You will find it in Integrated Peripherals. If you haven't set it to AHCI, it normally defaults to IDE mode. X79 platform being the exception. Yes. Remove LU5 & download & install all driver updates & such manually.
    If your UEFI/BIOS did get flashed by LU5, I would recommend to remove the power cord from the PSU, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, reset all the settings, especially check in the OC Section, CPU Features. Check to make sure there are no '0's showing. I don't know what your CPU is, so I don't know what to tell you to set the Core Ratio limit for each core if they are in fact sitting on 0. Disable Spread Spectrum & EuP 2013.

  • In random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

    in random mode some songs stop playing before being finished

    I've heard this excuse before, that what we think is random really isn't, but when certain trends occur enough times, its pretty clear that there is some kind of algorithm or something in the coding that affects the shuffle.
    I know random means random, but there are too many "random" coincidences and apparent patterns that occur to raise doubt that it truly is as random as Apple claims.
    One such example, is that when using the Shuffle Songs feature (that shuffles all tracks on the iPod) I had 2-3 tracks from the same album (an album I had never even listened to yet) showing up within the first 40 tracks five times in a row. Numerous other songs showed up in at least 3 of the 5 "trials." Out of 8,000 songs.
    On a playlist (of 300 or less songs is all I have tried), if you have multiple songs off the same album, you are far more likely to hear at least one other song off a given album within about 10 songs then you are to not hear a song off the same album. A specific example of this is on a playlist of 105 songs I have, there are 3 songs off one album, however nearly every time 2 of the songs will play within a 10 track range, and nearly as often all 3 songs will play within the same 20 track range.
    I know random isn't perfectly spaced songs, but when certain things happen often enough, the odds of it become so low that even the "true random" explanation doesn't cover it.

  • How do I get an actor to wait for its nested actors to stop running before stopping itself?

    I'm developing a series of projects that are based on the Actor Framework and my actor dependency hierarchy is starting to get some depth. One of the issues I'm facing now is making sure that each actor will only stop running (and signal this via a Last Ack to a higher-level actor or via a notification to non-AF code that launches it) once all of its nested actors have stopped running.
    For instance, say I have a type of actor that handles communication with a microcontroller over USB - a USB Controller Actor. I might want to have an application-specific actor that launches USB Controller Actor to issue commands to the microcontroller. When shutting down, I want this top-level actor to send a Stop Msg to USB Controller Actor and then wait to receive a Last Ack back before sending a notification within a provided notifier to the non-AF application code, which can then finish shutting down completely.
    I'm sure that having actors wait for all nested actors to shutdown before shutting down themselves is an extremely common requirement and I'm confident National Instruments have made it possible to handle that in a simple, elegant manner. I'm just struggling to figure out what that is.
    The approaches I've experimented with are:
    Creating a pseudo "Stop" message for an actor that won't actually stop it running straight away, but instruct it to stop all nested actors, wait for their Last Acks and then shut itself down by sending Stop Msg to itself. This isn't elegant because it means the client will be forced to fire off these pseudo stop messages instead of Stop Msg to certain actors.
    Instantiating an internally-used notifier and overriding Stop Core.vi and Handle Last Ack Core.vi. The idea is that within Stop Core.vi, I send Stop Msg to each of the nested actors and then make it wait indefinitely on the internal notifier. Within Handle Last Ack Core.vi, I make it send a notification using this notifier which allows Stop Core.vi to continue and perform deinitialisation for the top-level actor itself. Figures 1 & 2 below show this approach. I wasn't confident that this would work since it assumed that it was possible for Stop Core.vi to execute and then Handle Last Ack Core.vi to concurrently execute some time after. These assumptions didn't hold and it didn't work. It would have been messy even if it had.
    Overriding Stop Core.vi, making it send Stop Msg to each nested actor and then waiting for an arbitrarily long period of time (100ms, 200ms, etc.). What if a nested actor takes only 10ms to shut down? What if takes 400ms?
    The figures below show how I implemented the second approach. Ignore the broken object wires - they only appear that way in the snippets.
    Figure 1 - Stop Core.vi from the second approach
    Figure 2 - Handle Last Ack Core.vi from the second approach

    I think everyone who has worked on AF design agrees with this. Indeed, managing "Stop" was *the* thing that lead to the creation of the Actor Framework in the first place. The other issues (deadlock/hang avoidance and resource management) were secondary to just trying to get a clean shutdown.
    CaseyLamers1 wrote:
    I find the current code a bit lacking.
    My concern would be that the mixing of a verified stop and a regular stop could create confusion and lead to people having trouble during editting and testing with the project ending up locked (due to VIs left running which did not shutting down).
    Your concern is to some degree why no verified Stop exists in the AF already. We looked at each actor as an independent entity, and left it open to the programmer to add an additional managment layer for those applications that needed it. But over time, I have seen that particular management layer come up more often, which is why I am exploring the option."
    So that gives one of the reasons why this hasn't already been implemented but also points out that it's something quite a lot of people want.

  • In CS5, why won't Action Script 3 allow me to add a stop(); code before my label frame?

    This is something the CS4 book says I need to so that my animation stops at the photo when I click the button, rather than seeing it scroll through all the pictures at once. BUT, in CS5, it won't allow me to do this. I am wondering if it has to do with me having changed the action code from "gotoAndStop" to "gotoAndPlay" before I tried to add the stop(); command? I need the animation to stop at each photo as I click the link. The book I've been referencing is "Adobe CS4 Classroom In a Book" - Lesson 6, with the peacock photo gallery, for anyone who has that book. I don't know how to get this to work properly.

    Here is the message I get when I try to add a stop command for each photo:
    " In Acton Script 3.0, code cannot be placed directly on objects. Please select a frame or use the Code Snippets panel to apply code to the current selection on stage" .
    I changed my AS3 code back to "gotoAndStop" but its still giving me this message.  My first photo is on frame 20, so I clicked frame 19 in the action layer per the instructions, to add the stop command. It won't work still.
    Now, in the textbook, it says to go to the frame immediately before my photo's frame, and add "stop ();" but it won't allow me to do this now. Also, in the book, when I added a  tween, it doesn't add a separate layer in the examples for each photo. But it DOES when I actually add  tweens to the photos.

  • Stop Services Before Patching

    Hello,
    I had a question come up yesterday regarding a few servers in my environment related to patch deployments from SCCM 2012. Is it possible to deploy a Software Update Group that will stop certain services before patches are applied - then, after the reboot,
    start those services up in a specific order?
    There are at lease two seperate high-profile production applications where I have to suppress the reboots and schedule reboot times for those systems so the system owners can start the services in a specific order. It would be a real time saver to automate
    this type of situation.
    TIA

    For scenarios like this where you need to control multiple steps, many organizations use Orchestrator to automate the process.  I prefer this approach because it allows the most flexibility for handling success/failure scenarios.
    You can also try to use a Task Sequence for this.
    I hope that helps,
