STOP: 0x0000007B inaccessible boot devices

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

Hello,

I have a strange problems.

I don't know how that happened but this is waht I have.

I am running win 2000 sp4 on IBM thinkpad 600 laptop. Everything was
running good.

When I booted in safe mode I got a blue screen STOP: 0x0000007B
inaccessible boot devices

1-Tried all the options and no luck.

If I boot in normal mode windows load properly and everything seems to
work normal.

2- tried to scan all the HD, no virus detected. Tried adware spybot
etc... nothing detected.

rebooted in safe mode and it crashed again.

formated it completelly and reinstalled win2000 on it but it still
crashed in safe mode.

I could not find any similar problems on the net.

So again it blue screen in safe mode but not in normal mode.

ANY IDEA? How come it is not crashing in normal mode?

Thanks,

TOM
