The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Inaccessible_Boot_Device

Asked by Hoeglund in Windows NT Setup

Tags: inaccessible_boot_device, nt

Hi Guy´s, Newbie from Denmark joining in as I have found many good answers to earlier problems, but now I really need help...

I´m getting pretty close to desperat soon, my problem is as follows:

I have an older NT 4 SP6 system, which I need to migrate from Compaq Proliant 1600, to new Hardware HP DL 380 G4, with SmartArray6i RAID controller.

I used Ghost 9, to migrate the software, and all went well in the Ghost(I have boot partition >8GB). BUT, when I try to boot, I get the error inaccessible_boot_device, followed by the error code 0x0000007b, and the listing of the involved drivers, whereamong the cpqarray.sys is listed. I do realize that I need to update the drivers for the SmartArray controller, but how can I do that, when my server bluescreens, and even when I use the winternal ERD disk, I cannot execute driver update from that console. I have tried to do fresh install NT over NT, but when I get to the CDROM file system the install crashes and reboot. I have tried to add drivers using <F6> and i can succesfully add the drivers for the SmartArray6i controller during the install, but when I try to add the new Atapi.sys (From SP4, since I cannot find newer as boot time loadable), it just freeze and never load the atapi driver.

There is 2 possible solutions to getting this up and running, but both are crashing on me. Please help me as soon as possible.

Best regards from Denmark...


More info added...  I tried to resize partition to 4096mb, nothing changed. Here is all data from BSOD:

STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF1C13BE0, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

SYSVER 0xf0000565

ntoskrnl.exe            hal.dll
cpqSMgrK.sys            cpqarray.sys
SCSIPORT.sys            atapi.sys
cpq32fs2.sys            DISK.sys
CLASS2.sys            cpqsdm.sys

Please help, I need this server running this weekend.
