I actually stumbled onto what was causing this mess last night—it turns out that article I was looking at was talking about "stop ERROR 0 x0000007b "
The thing is, the article claims my boot volume got corrupted, which isn't exactly what ended up being the case in the end
Anyway, here are the commands I used in cmd.
I just opened a cmd window from my USB Stich, and honestly, a little bonus for me was learning how to do this along the way 🙂
Command 1# – Diskpart
Command 2# – List volume
Command 3# – EXIT Command 4
Command 4# – D: (You’re Windows Drive Letter)
Command 5# – Bootrec /fixmbr
Command 6# – Bootrec /fixboot
Command 7# – Chkdsk /f (Try chkdsk /f /r If “Chkdsk /f” command Wont Works)
Command 8# – Y
Once the "chkdsk" command finished, I just rebooted my computer and—boom—problem solved. 🙂
Just one more thing... does anyone actually know why all those steps even work?
I'm running into the exact same headache with my PC
any other ideas?
Look, if you want to actually fix this mess, you’re gonna have to boot up in Safe Mode, ditch the current display adapter, rename those annoying .inf driver files, reboot back into normal mode, and finally just install fresh drivers. It's a bit of a headache, but here’s the play-by-play:
First, get Windows into Safe Mode. Here's how:
Reboot your machine, and make sure you hit F8 during startup.
Once the Windows Advanced Options Menu pops up, just use the ARROW keys to pick Safe Mode and hit ENTER.
Pick your OS from the list with the ARROW keys, then hit ENTER to get into Windows XP in Safe Mode.
A little box will pop up telling you that Windows is running in Safe Mode, click Yes.
Click Start, go to Run, type in msinfo32, and hit OK.
Under System Summary, find where it says Components, expand that, and then click Display.
On the right side, look for whatever is listed next to INF File—it might be something like Nv4.inf, Oem0.inf, or Atim128.inf. Grab that name.
Exit System Information utility.
Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then hit Properties.
Click the Hardware tab, and from there, click Device Manager.
Expand Display adapters, right-click your display adapter, and then click Uninstall.
Hit OK.
Click Start, go to Run, type cmd, and hit OK.
Now, in the Command Prompt window, type these commands out—just remember to hit ENTER after each one:
ren %systemroot%\inf\INF file name from Step 5.inf *inf.old
ren %systemroot%\inf\INF file name from Step 5.pnf *pnf.old
Shut everything down, close your windows, and just restart the computer like you normally would.
Log back into Windows using an admin account, and just hang tight while Windows tries to figure out what new hardware you've got.
When the Found New Hardware Wizard shows up, just click Cancel.
