I’m trying to reinstall windows 7 but am suddenly unable to get past the second restart due to it dying with an error code and parameters of 0x7b (0xFFFFF880009A97E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0, 0x0). I’ve gotten no help from anywhere else because they all use SATA drives instead of the NVME that I’m currently installing it on. How do I solve this error and not have my money wasted by buying a product key for this install? It has NVME drivers already loaded so it should be able to install it on the drive but for some reason it always bugchecks?

It could be a bad drive.
Why would you need to buy a product key if you are RE-installing?Originally posted by VaniTS -
The STOP error code 0x0000007B, also known as[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, indicates that Windows has lost access to the system partition during the boot process.

Before I reinstalled, the OS wasn’t activated and was an entirely different edition of windows 7. I don’t think the drive is bad either because the windows 10 partition works perfectly fine.Originally posted by xrobwx71Comment

This is for SATA drives, not NVME drives.[/color]Comment

Yes, I did not post instructions for NVME drives. Have you checked n your bios whether you are on IDE or AHCI and changed the setting?Originally posted by VaniTSComment

Don’t have the option in my bios to see if it’s IDE or AHCI, nor the ability to change it.Comment

We need ALL of this information if we are going to be able to help. Multiple partitions with multiple OS’s on the same drive? None of which are activated?Originally posted by VaniTSComment

I don’t see how that would matter, considering how the other partition is an entirely different OS, The Windows 10 install is activated, however I wish to get rid of it with the windows 7 install. They’re all on the same drive.Originally posted by xrobwx71Comment

What mode is the bios in?
Raid? Are there any options to switch out of raid mode?Comment

You may also need to slipstream raid drivers into the window seven iso…

I can’t find anyway to see what mode the bios is in, nor to change it out of raid mode if its in raid.Originally posted by MalnutritionComment

The 7updater thing I used should’ve slipstreamed those drivers in by itself.Originally posted by MalnutritionYou may also need to slipstream raid drivers into the window seven iso…
