STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) Blue Screen During Install Of Windows XP

Over the weekend I helped remove Windows Vista from my friends Dell Latitude E4300. Since all the drivers were offered on their support site I downloaded the SATA driver, merged the driver into Windows XP SP2 using nLite, then started the reinstallation process. Just after copying files to the hard drive the laptop would crash into a blue screen with the following error; STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000). After scouring the web for fixes and trying many things that didn’t work, I finally came across a fix that allowed me to fully install Windows XP Pro SP2 onto a Dell Latitude E4300.

I resolved the stop issue by the following these steps.

1. During start up, when you see the Dell logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS

2. Expand the "Drives" section

3. Go to "SATA Operation"

4. Change this from "RAID AHCI" to "RAID ATA"

5. Exit BIOS saving changes

The best way to fix this problem is to replace your RAM.

I am a IT Support Analyst and I just wanted to say you ROCK! I have two laptops that have done this to me recently. One was a Dell and the other was a Lenovo. In the Lenovo T410 you don't have the option to change to RAID ATA, but it would
the setting is called compatible setting. So I have to say, you saved me alot of time! Thanks!!!!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!
i don't have a dell, i have a Toshiba, but it worked similar for me.
Go into BIOS and advanced settings and select your sata hard drive or something with AHCI. change that to compatibility or something similar and you should be off to XP in no time!
