Environment

Problem



After you restore a LiveState or V2i image to a server, Windows appears to start correctly. Then a blue screen appears with the error message "Inaccessible Boot Device (Stop 0x0000007B)."


Solution



If the hardware is not identical, Windows may present this error message when it starts with new hardware. This can occur even if only a drive is swapped.
For more information on this problem and to obtain an unsupported workaround, see the following Microsoft document:
You receive a Stop 0x0000007B error after you move the Windows XP system disk to another computer (314082)



Technical Information
You can import or merge the required registry entries and copy the drivers beforehand to support all IDE controllers that are natively supported by Windows.
