Hi all, been lurking around the forums for a few years now but haven't really posted. I offered to build my friend a rig lately somewhat modelled after the TH's 4.1 GHz rig. The thing is, after powering it on and trying to install Windows XP Pro, I get BSOD upon completion of windows loading the kernal,scsi, etc etc

STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE

that's the message I get when I try to install it. I googled around a bit and it said maybe perhaps something to do with my hard drive.... but it's a brand new one. The only thing I could think of is that when I go into BIOS, it doesn't detect any IDE's, but during the scan it finds both the DVD+/-RW and the seagate drive. Anyone that could shed some light into this mystery would be greatly appreciated. I've listed my specs below for those who need it. Thanks in advance!

How do you have the drive jumpered (CABLE SELECT or MASTER)?

If it is Cable Select, and there is NO other drive on that IDE channel, you
may want to try setting it to Master.

Or if it is set to Master, try Cable Select.

I have the computer set up in cable select, the black connector to the hard drive and grey to the DVD drive. If I set the jumper to master I cannot have a slave drive then I believe? The mobo only supports 1 IDE connector. Any other ideas?

Why can't you set the HDD to Primary master and the dvd drive to primary slave ? Guess I'm confused.

yeah that's how I have it set up right now... at least with cable select... the black to the HDD and the grey to the DVD

I tried reformatting the HDD on another computer, even installing a barebones version of windows on it but that had some hardware complications with the rig i built my friend so it's not even loading into windows properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Try use a seperate IDE channel for your dvd drive. set both to master.
set auto detect in bios.
set boot from dvd/CD drive.
