Today, after working with Windows for over 15 years now, I finally came across the solution to the | |
dreadfull BSOD STOP 0x0000007B after replacing the motherboard of a computer, or after moving the | |
harddrive to another computer, or after doing a P2V, or after ... you get the point. | |
Requirements: | |
- Windows install / boot CD | |
- Chipset / Mobo / Storage drivers of the new motherboard or storage controller | |
Steps: | |
- extract all the drivers to a USB thumb drive | |
- boot with the Windows CD | |
- go to the recovery console (typically hidden somewhere under repair, or advanced tools | |
- find out what drive letter your windows installation is in (probably C:) and what drive letter your | |
USB thumb drive is in (let's assume D:) | |
- type in the magic command: | |
DISM /Image:C:\ /Add-Driver /driver:D:\ /recurse | |
- wait until the process completes. You should see lines indicating what driver is being injected | |
- reboot | |
After rebooting, you should be able to boot into windows (if the boot menu for start-up repair shows, | |
just select the option to boot Windows normally). Once booted, Windows will probably install some more | |
drivers and you will probably need to reboot once more. There's also a chance that you'll need to | |
re-activate your Windows. |
