XP Pro Hard Drive Problem

[Guest Homer Jay]

I recently installed XP Pro onto a Samsung S1604N hard drive, but now am

unable to boot. I cannot access Windows with either safe or normal mode. I

get a blue screen error with the following:

 

The stop code is *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8A80528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000,

0x00000000)

 

I have tried the HD in 2 different computers and get the same error. The XP

install runs fine, only after the final reboot before loading Windows do I

get stuck. If I put the drive as a slave in another machine, I can access

the drive fine, view files on the drive, copy/cut/paste files to the drive,

in other words it acts normal. Only when I try to boot to the drive do I get

the above stop code.

 

I checked with Samsung and the drive does not require any drivers. BIOS

recognizes the drive, Windows recognizes the drive (as a slave) so what the

heck do I need to do in order to boot from this drive?

 

Thanks.
