Need help urgently!!!

I just replaced a new motherboard ASUS P5GDC Deluxe. When I boot from my XP
SP1 CD-ROM, I got 0x0000007B error. This caused me not able to re-install XP
to my harddisk.

Can someone please help me resolve it?

fyi, I connected my HD to the Primary IDE slot while the CD-ROM connected to
the Primary IDE RAID1 slot with IDE Mode enabled.

Thanks.

I would double check the jumper on your hard drive.
0X0000007B is unaccesable boot device. You must be
able to boot from the CD otherwise you wouldn't get
far enough to get that error.

jumper on the harddisk is set correctly.

I also tried to disconnect the harddisk from the motherboard and just boot
from the CD. I expect The Welcome to Setup screen would be shown and XP would
complaint "Harddisk was not found" when I selected to install XP. However,
the screen did not be shown and the same error occurred. I thus assume the
error should not be caused by the harddisk.

First thing I should have asked is can you see
the hard drive in the BIOS?
That what stop error 0x0000007B is telling you.
Setup can't find the hard drive. If the jumper are
set correctly then either the drive is bad or the
cable or a setting in the BIOS needs to be changed.
Its very rare but sometimes I've seen jumper not
make proper contact with the pins on the drive.
But if the BIOS doesn't see the drive then XP will
never see it.

I can see the hard drive in the BIOS in Main Menu as Primary IDE Master.
However, I can't see the CD-ROM in the same menu of the BIOS. Not sure if
it's normal or not. But I could boot from CD-ROM anyway.

Did anyone have experience on using ASUS P5GDC Deluxe motherboard with IDE
ATA hard drive? If yes, appreciate if you could advise me how you connect
your drives to the motherboard.

Thanks.

Try swapping where you have to CD and hard drive installed.

After the swapping, I could see the CD-ROM in the BIOS Main Menu as Primary
IDE Master but not any hard drive. From the BIOS Boot menu, however, I could
see the hard drive for my selection.

This time I could boot from CD-ROM successfully without the blue screen and
the error. But when I tried to press ENTER to install XP, XP said the hard
drive could not be found and the action was aborted.

Quit disappointed about the new motherboard. What else should I try?

Can you connect the HD as Primary master and the CD as Secondary master?
I don't have this mother board and was just going by prev experience with
setting
up other boards. Hope fully someone that has this board will step in.
One other question is this a new hard drive or is it been used before on
your
older board?

For this motherboard, it has a Primary IDE connector (in blue) and two IDE
RAID connectors (in red). Devices connected to the Primary IDE connecter
would be detected as Primary IDE Master and Primary IDE Slave. Devices
connected to the two IDE RAID connectors would be detected as Third/Forth IDE
Master/Slave.

For the 0x0000007B error case, I had connected the hard drive to the blue
connector as Primary IDE Master and the CD-ROM to the red connector.

The hard drive is an old one from my old PC with XP installed. I intend to
boot from CD-ROM to repair the XP in order to recognize the new hardware.

I also tried to use another hard drive with data only but not any XP
installed. The same error however occurred.

fyi, I am using XP SP1.

I can't see why everything you've tried hasn't worked. How is the drive
formatted?
Have you tried booting with a dos floppy to see if it sees the drive. Run
fdisk
don't delete any partitions or anything because you'll lose your data, just
see
if it sees the drive. You didn't convert the drive to a dynamic disk on your
old machine
did you?
