826299 2009-11-02 23:41:00 Have you tried creating an image on the computer it was installed in? To see if it does the same thing? If it doesnt crash, then you'll know that its because its plugged into another system, thats making it crash Speedy Gonzales (78)

It won't boot in the PC its from, and I don't have any way to connect something to image to from there :(

826301 2009-11-03 00:55:00 Did it boot or do anything at all (before you removed the hdd / used Acronis on it, in another system, then put it back in the PC it was in)? Or was it crashing with the same BSOD as well? Speedy Gonzales (78)
826302 2009-11-03 01:12:00 It was operating fine prior to removing the drive for backup. inphinity (7274)
826303 2009-11-03 01:21:00 Hmm looks like you can get that stop error, if the hdd is SATA, the SATA drivers arent installed, (it cant find the hdd, which is what that stop error means), but this hdd is IDE, isnt it? Speedy Gonzales (78)
826304 2009-11-03 01:36:00 If I remember correctly, NT4 boots off a FAT16 partition then proceeds to load the OS off the NTFS partition. So a thought - doing a chkdsk is probably checking the NTFS partition - if there is a fault on the FAT16 partition it will still be there perhaps? johnd (85)
826305 2009-11-03 01:44:00 This sounds like a similar prob (www.wilderssecurity.com) but with XP. And it was fixed:

Well, I ended up doing it the old fashioned way and put the original hard drive back on the original motherboard and booted it into Windows. Then I went into the device manager and changed the hard drive controller to the Windows default 'Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller' and then I took that hard drive out and plugged into the IDE controller on the new motherboard and it booted. From there I used Acronis to clone it to the new hard drive and then started to install all the drivers that came with the new motherboard CD.

But this wont help since it wont boot on the original PC. So, it maybe the disk controller thats causing the BSOD

826306 2009-11-03 03:20:00 Yeah, it's IDE, and it's the same disk controller as it was working on before. Johnd, there is only the one partition on the drive, an NTFS partition. inphinity (7274)
826307 2009-11-03 03:40:00 What service pack was on it?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
826308 2009-11-03 07:25:00 Yeah, it's IDE, and it's the same disk controller as it was working on before. Johnd, there is only the one partition on the drive, an NTFS partition.

I was convinced I was right about the FAT16 partition - do you have another drive installed with a FAT16 boot partition on it?
