I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 (with updata 1) using UEFI on my Intel DP45SG.

Starting up the installation by using UEFI works fine, but after the files have been copied and the system reboots I get the following error code: 0xc000007b ntoskrnl.exe missing or contains errors

I've tried reformatting my USB stick and recopying the files, as well as re downloading the installation files but this hasn't resolved the problem.

Is there anything I can try to fix this? Perhaps give some commands in the commands prompt?

I've noticed that everything works fine when using IDE mode (in the bios/UEFI) for my hard drives.

However when I try to switch back to AHCI mode after the installation I get the Windows automatic repair.

I've tried both methods at: http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-enable-ahci-in-windows-8-after-installation/
But both still result in the automatic repair (after a 2nd reboot)..

Hi Gi,

It might be caused by changes in Windows 8 PnP in which Boot Start Drivers are not installed by default.

Please try following the instructions as mentioned in the KB aticle.

Regards,

This board does not have UEFI. Intel introduced boards with UEFI 2.3.1 starting with the 6 series chipset releases. It coincided with adding support for the 3rd gen CPU products. See here:

Configure the OS to be installed with legacy boot and to MBR disk.
