0x7b error due to new motherboard and RAID boot disk
Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble booting my windows 7 PC because I recently switched my motherboard from an M4N78 Pro to a Crosshair IV Formula.
The issue I'm having (I think) is that since I used RAID mode (2 SSD drives in raid 0) as my boot disk, and my previous motherboard used the nvidia storage controller it's trying to load the wrong driver. I know the MBR is fine because I re-created my RAID
after installing the new motherboard, and restored a backup using acronis trueimage, I tested this backup before doing this and it booted fine in the old setup.
I know I could re-install windows, but that isn't really an option right now, ideally I'd like to just install the correct driver, I am able to get into recovery mode, and I have to add the storage driver to get it to detect any windows OS, once I
do that it works but is unable to repair the installation.
At first my system was hanging and hitting the BSOD right after loading System32/Drivers/disk.sys but if I disable the nvidia raid storage driver and enable iastorv in the registry it will go one further and hit classpnp.sys before giving me the BSOD (0x0000007b)
I also tried installing the driver manually, what I did was take the ahcix64.sys file and put it System32/Drivers/, then I copied the registry entry from the recovery registry that was added when I used the "Load drivers" option, loaded up my SYSTEM hive
from my installation, and added the ahcix64.sys entries to ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 under Services.
This resulted in the last line during startup changing to ahcix64.sys before the BSOD, I didn't see Classpnp.sys load at all.
Please help, I'd really rather not re-install for what I think is just a simple driver issue...
Edit: I've gone a bit further, after adding my ahcix64.sys file back to system32/drivers and adding the registry entry in System/ControlSet001 and System/ControlSet002 I now get to storport.sys, which comes after Classpnp.sys in the safe mode startup
