Can’t reinstall windows 7, suddenly always bugchecking upon the second phase with 0x7b (0xFFFFF880009A97E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0, 0x0)

I don’t see how that would matter, considering how the other partition is an entirely different OS

It does matter. It is a boot sequence issue.
Is this a laptop? if yes make and model number + serial number.
If not a laptop make and model of MB

@VaniTS - any news?

Not a laptop, can’t see model number or make of PC anywhere.

Still haven’t gotten it to work.

[PeterOz]

You have to open the case and look for the make and model of the Motherboard.

Didn’t know you meant the motherboard and not the entire PC.

NVMe SSD Support: NVMe drives require specific drivers that are not natively available in Windows 7. While it is possible to integrate these drivers into a custom installation ISO, this process can be complex and may still result in suboptimal performance.

CPU Support: The Intel Core i7-11700 is an 11th generation Rocket Lake processor. Officially, Intel does not provide drivers for Windows 7 for its 11th generation CPUs. This means that even if you manage to install Windows 7, you may face significant issues related to CPU performance and functionality.

Like I was saying, you need to slipstream the drivers into the install disk/usb or this will never work.

Bingo

I already slipstreamed the drivers into the install disk. Thats how my first install managed to work. However suddenly its doing this even after driver slipstreaming.

What tool did you use? You need to repeat this, according to post #15 this time you used a “7Updater thing” which indicates to me the needed drivers are not included in this iso of windows 7 are trying to use. The correct drivers are not there then windows will never see the hdd to install it’s self on.

Before installing Windows 7, you may need to adjust BIOS settings:

[ul]
[li]Disable Secure Boot.[/li][li]Enable Legacy Boot mode if available.[/li][li]Ensure CSM (Compatibility Support Module) is enabled.[/li][/ul]

Read the manual I provided and go into bios and switch between the different modes. You said there are no options, the owners manual says there is.
