답변됨 Freezes because of error 0x0000007B

    Hi everyone.

    Would be grateful for your assistance. I know 0x0000007B is an error code for something to do with the hard drive not being able to accessed by the installer. I have tried to find a suitable driver for my hard drive, but i don't know what sort of hard drive it is. I went onto the device manager in Vista and found out that it is a SCSI drive. Don't know if that is right??

    I also read on this forum and other places that you can sometimes change the type in the bios. So i tried the different types of settings in their raid, and a few others. When the updater has finished installing the initial things it restarts the computer, and this is when the problem occurs. It says loading windows and an animation of windows logo appears. Then the message is displayed. When i changed the settings in the bios, one of the options made the screen stay on the loading windows thing, and nothing changed. The others resulted in the blue screen with the aforementioned error code. I have tried everything i can think of, and nothing works. I really want to be able to get onto the Windows 7.

    Anyway back to the hard drive. If i can find the disk drive drivers how can i get them onto my updater? I ONLY want to upgrade my Vista to Windows 7, and i am not going to do a clean install under any circumstances.

    Would appreciate a response if any of you know how to fix this?

    Thank you in advance.

    If you intend to *upgrade* your Vista to Windows 7, then the disk drivers should not be an issue under any circumstances, if you run the installer from within Vista.

    If you're getting a boot error because you're trying to boot from the DVD (and Win7 doesn't have drivers for your hard disk), then you're not performing an upgrade, you are performing an installation (either clean, if you format the Vista drive; or dual-boot, if you install Win7 to a second drive). I'm fairly skeptical that you have a SCSI drive installed, as most people who have SCSI hardware in their systems are intimately aware of its existence -- as well as why they have SCSI hardware installed. Consumer grade machines do not generally contain SCSI hardware.

    More likely you have a SATA drive (not SCSI), and messing in the BIOS (given the general naive tone of your message), is probably not something you want to be doing. It certainly isn't going to help an operating system installation resolve an issue with unavailable drivers.

    So, based on your statement that you're not interested in performing a clean installation of Windows7, the proper procedure would be:

        [a] Log onto the Administrator account on your Vista machine.

        [b] Install the Win7 DVD and run SETUP.

        [c] Install Win7 to some drive other than C: (Assuming that Vista is installed on drive C:).
