Have stuff that you dont want to lose on the puter?
pics etc.
Yeah I have stuff on it, but I can easily transfer them off by hooking the drive as a slave in another computer... I didn't want to start fresh if i could avoid it, but I am coming up dead with ever idea i get and can find.

This is what MS says
Below is a bulletin distributed by MS to explain the start up procedure when Windows will not boot. Startup Repair
Problems starting up a PC can be tricky to fix, since Windows hasn’t had a chance to load its arsenal of troubleshooting tools. Some people simply give up and reinstall Windows.
Startup Repair is designed to prevent a time-consuming reinstallation by diagnosing and repairing problems that prevent Windows from booting. Introduced in Windows Vista, Startup Repair is even easier to use because Windows 7 now installs it on your hard drive for you.

Get help
Not much more can be done.I think that we tried safe mode
Yeah, just keep coming up with dead ends...
Don't ever remember having a problem like this with 95, 98, or xp - at least not one where I cannot boot at all.
Thanks for all the ideas... Likely give it a few more days (see if anyone else has anything...) then start fresh
Thanks

sorry for my english...
Hi Chris,
I dont have much in the way of "good news" for you...
I never managed to get the drive to boot again normally. I found lots of threads and stories out there with ideas on why it wasnt working, but I had a hard time getting the drive to a point where I could even change anything.
I ended up moving anything important to an alternate drive, format, and reinstall windows 7.
Do you have an option like that?
Chad
My case was a new mobo with the original harddisk ->
STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80786B58, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
all the previous didn't do anything,
What did help was the following:
The old settings were looking for a PCIIDE SATA harddisk,
New motherboard worked with AHCI,
So in the bios I could change the sata settings from AHCI to IDE (pciide) and the boot error was gone, and windows 7 booted fully,
but i could not install the new sata drivers.
so I checked if the registry to enable ahci (How to enable AHCI in Windows 7 RC after installation)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\Msahci
the value of start should be 0 not 3(this is disable)
rebooted and changed bios back to ahci.
and now I could continue
For guys where this is not helping nor possible, maybe changing the registry "offline" will help, with the method of trapsdooropen
Windows 7 installation will not recognize any HDDs
good luck
