STOP Msg: 0x0000007B Installing Windows NT on HP Vectra XU/XUC

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

When you install Windows NT 3.5 or 3.51 on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) Vectra XU/XUC P5 Pentium-based computer using an on-board AMD SCSI controller, the following STOP Message appears after Setup completes the mass storage device detection and reboots your computer:

STOP: 0x0000007B
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem:

1. Ensure the BIOS version of your Vectra computer is 5.08 or above. If it is not, contact HP Vectra DeskTop Support at (970) 635-1000 for a BIOS update.



2. Obtain VJS2NIUS.EXE, which contains a new AMD SCSI controller driver AMSINT.SYS, from the HP Bulletin Board Service at (208) 344-1691 or HP's web site at http://www.hp.com. Extract VJS2NIUS.EXE on another computer.



3. Run Windows NT Setup by typing the following (which creates the Windows NT Setup floppy disks):
   
   WINNT /OX
   
   -or-
   
   WINNT32 /OX



4. Replace the AMSINT.SYS driver on the third Windows NT Setup floppy disk with the SCSI driver obtained from HP (Step 2 above).



5. Continue Windows NT Setup.
