Question

Stop code 7b when booting to safe mode

Asked by: Geisrud

I have a Dell Dimension B110 (XP Home SP3) that I've been working on removing malware.  I've done pretty well so far, but I'd like to boot into safe mode to run some scans.  However, when I boot to safe mode, I always get a stop code (BSOD) 7b.

I know this means that the boot device is inaccessible.  BIOS is set to boot from HDD first.  No problems booting into regular mode.

Ideas?

Boot into BIOS and see what mode the drive is set. If it is AHCI then change it to SATA compatible mode.
Then try to boot into Safe Mode. Does it help?
Also, update your MB or HDD controller drivers.

Load from your XP-cd start in repair mode and perform an chkdsk c: /r

Or start from an BartPE / MiniPE cd / hang the Harddisk in an other computer an perform an chkdsk c: /f

mostly the computer start again.

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-08-20 at 10:40:39ID: 25145157

this is an older machine, with an IDE HDD; no AHCI or SATA modes...

I'm checking on the drivers.

Also run sfc /scannow to fix all possible problems with files.

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-08-20 at 11:34:02ID: 25145690

Noxcho; sfc /scannow had no [apparent] effect.

 

by: noxchoPosted on 2009-08-20 at 11:36:46ID: 25145722

ok, did you update drivers?

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-08-20 at 12:12:01ID: 25146006

Installed new chipset and flashed bios driver, no change.

Can you find and post here minidump?
First of all, you need to configure Windows to save these important log files. Most of the time, this is already done automatically, however follow these steps to make sure these log files are being saved.

1) Click on Start

2) Right-click on My Computer

3) Click on Properties

4)  In Windows XP, click on the Advanced tab. In Windows Vista, click on the Advanced System Systems option on the left side of the screen.

5) Under Startup and Recovery, Click on the Setting button

6) Under the System Failure section, you'll see the options for the memory dump file. Write an event to the system log should be checked along with Send an Administrative Alert. The debugging information should be set to the Small Memory dump (64K) and generally the Small Dump Directory is set to %SystemRoot%\Minidump. In most cases this is the C:\Windows\Minidump directory.

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-08-20 at 12:29:40ID: 25146150

Will post that in a few ticks.   I'm currently running the chkdsk /r mentioned above.

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-08-20 at 13:18:39ID: 25146691

No change after chkdsk.

Attached is the most recent dump file.
It's not creating a minidump file.  If it is, it's not where it's supposed to be.  (I have enabled show hidden files and also unchecked hide protected OS files, just to check...)

 

by: noxchoPosted on 2009-08-20 at 13:21:38ID: 25146723

Can't see attached file. Did you change its extension to txt or png?

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-08-20 at 13:25:54ID: 25146785

sorry, forgot to change that line, I had it all typed up and ready to send, then couldn't find it.

I'm going to search the computer for the dump file, but I'm not certain that they are being created.

The virus removed\modified the "Safeboot" tree in the registry:

What I do to fix this is a keep a  backup exported key of the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentContro\Set\Control\Safeboot tree then when I fix a pc that has been infected with a virus i right click on the key file and hit merge....it imports the default registry settings for safe mode

Then voila it is fixed

I have attached a "code snippet" of default safemode settings for xp  highlight and paste into notepad

save as "safemode7bfix.key" to your desktop  ***use the quotes or notepad will save as safemode7bfix.key.txt  ***


you will see a new registry file on your desktop

right click this mile a select merge....it should it succesfully merged\imported

reboot into safe mode

you should be good to go

@ngcmos

Thanks!  I'll definitely try that.  The computer isn't on my desk anymore, so it'll take me a few days to get to it.  I'll let you know how things go.

I'm waiting to hear from the machine's owner - hopefully will try out that reg fix this weekend.

cool sounds good

Currently not able to right-click and select merge.  But that's an issue for another day

 

by: ngcmosPosted on 2009-10-13 at 15:18:56ID: 25565399

In that case:

Save the file to "c:\"

THen go to run--->type "cmd"

then type "cd\" in the command window

then type "regedit.exe /s yourfile.reg"

 

by: ngcmosPosted on 2009-10-13 at 15:20:40ID: 25565407

I also looked at my old post... i told you to save as a .key file... imeant .reg   sorry...now you should see merge

 

by: GeisrudPosted on 2009-10-14 at 12:27:08ID: 25574142

nfcmos - thanks for the update.  I'll pass that along and try with the .reg extension.
