A General idea, please???

Howdy,
I noticed that the loading and subsequent running of XP Home on my 5
month old DELL was frozen-molasses SLOW. I wanted to run an Anti-virus
scan but I didn't think I'd live long enough to see the results.

On another computer I decided to try loaded the DELL WIN XP onto a
spare hdd drive, and install it in the Dell machine. I got the
following error message:

"PROBLEM DETECTED: STOP: 0X0000007B 0XF894F640, 0XC00000034,
0X00000000 0X00000000 0X00000000

In disgust, I put the original S L O W hard drive back into the Dell
and I got a message that that WIN XP Home will reinstall.....BUT NOT
FROM THE CD DISK!!!! That's a new one on me! OK! I waited about 50
minutes and it was still grinding away....So I quit it and shut
down, closed up the dell and now using my old, home-built.

What thinkest thou? Anyone? Could sure use some help...sounds like
MOBO to me, or MBR virus?

Michael,

I think this may be helpful:

Good Luck!

P.S. most of my boxes (workstations and servers) are DELLs.

Boot the original hard drive that came with the 5 month old Dell, with the Dell OEM
Operating System Reinstallation CD Microsoft Windows XP Home edition, and format your
drive and do a new install. You will also have to install the drivers/utilities/software
from the CDs that came bundled with the system. If you still have problems, get with Dell
tech support, because you have at least a one year warranty (unless you purchased added
Dell support), of which you have 7 months remaining. As far as the message you got: If
you installed Windows XP on the hard drive in another system, and then moved the drive to
the Dell system, of course you're going to have problems, because during install Windows
XP configures itself for the system it's installed on. If the other system had a
different mother board, you'd get the STOP: 0X0000007B error if you tried to boot from
that drive in another system. (Just curious: If you were going to do a reinstall, why
didn't you do it on the Dell system with its original drive?)

This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a
different chipset than the original motherboard.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP
If the old IDE controller and the new IDE controller detected your hard disk as the same
size, perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP.

(That means do a Repair Install)
