How can I fix STOP 0x7B Error Messages after deploying Sysprep Images?
advertisment
When you prepare an image of a machine with the sysprep tool, the machine resets or you get the stop 0x7B error on the deployed machines even if you used the pnp switch.
The message is:
STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
This is caused because of the difference between the IDE/SCSI controller at the master machine and the target machine. (Note that different chipsets have different controllers).
advertisment
Solution:
[Sysprep] BuildMassStorageSection=Yes [SysprepMassStorage]
Run sysprep.exe and mark the pnp and minisetup checkboxes and click on Reseal.
advertisment
Note: You can also run sysprep.exe from the command prompt while using the correct switches.
The sysprep process will take longer than usual because of the new section that is being built.
This tip has been tested on Windows XP Pro, Windows 2000 Pro, Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003, both on IDE and on SCSI Controllers.
