Hello Everybody, Recently, I have bought new laptop with Windows 7 already installed. I would like to install Windows Server 2003 on Windows 7, by making it dual-boot system. When I try to run the setup of Windows Server 2003, I am getting error STOP 0x0000007B. Pls give suggestion Regards, Thiyagu

You may try to navigate to the BIOS settings and then change the SATA controller from AHCI to IDE or compatibility mode to see whether you get the same issue. Best Regards, Vincent Hu
