I'm trying to install a fresh copy of Windows XP on an old Medion PC, (four years old). It's a PC MT6 type and a MED MT 243 model. Afaik it has a MSI motherboard, MS-7010.

The error I get is this:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps.

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or drive controllers. Check your
drive to make sure is is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart your computer.

Technical Information
***STOP:0x0000007B (0xF8980524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"

I have removed all peripherals that aren't needed.

I tried disabling all motherboard features that weren't needed in BIOS. (USB, FW, etc)

I have swapped memory for another stick, tried swapping memory slots.

I have tried with another harddrive, I have tried without a harddrive.

I have switched IDE cable to a new one.

I have reset the BIOS.

I have tried with an older windows XP install CD.

What else can I try? :confused:
 
To troubleshoot stop error messages look them up on this page. Your stop points to "inaccessible_boot_device". You may need to supply a driver on setup or use a different setting in the BIOS for setup. Not familiar with the board but you may need to set the IDE mode.
 
Has to do with the CD rom drive I think. Check to make sure that the CD rom drive is plugged into the end on the ribbon cable, and make sure the jumper is set to Cable Select (if there is only one device plugged into it). Or just try the 1 CD drive, with cable select jumper, plugged into the end of the ribbon.
