Grommit Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I have a Laptop that gives STOP: 0x00000007 error in pci.sys when booting from a Windows XP CD! Is it fscked? Answers on a postcard to the usual address... how about entering the stop code into here http://www.microsoft.com/support 1
somabc Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) The CD is fine, I was going to reinstall Windows on it as it had been restarting probably with the same error. I think there is a hardware problem? The Laptop is less than a year old, Memory is being checked now but appears fine. Sigh another Warranty return. 0x00000007: INVALID_SOFTWARE_INTERRUPT It indicates a level not within the software range ???? Edited October 14, 2008 by somabc
jmcdermott Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I would say Hard Drive is an easy place to start, just try one from a different laptop. 1
somabc Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Its a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 PSAPPE with an IDE HD
somabc Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Is it at least an SP2 integrated CD? Ah, no .... No Service Packs at all! Time to slipstream some service packs? Edited October 14, 2008 by somabc
PeterW Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Ahh try with one that has SP2 integrated I'm sure that will sort you out. 1
somabc Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Can you integrate SP3 into Vanilla or do you have to integrate SP2, then SP3? Edit nevermind just did SP2, then SP3 seems to have worked alright. Edited October 14, 2008 by somabc
PeterW Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Its cumulative so you could go straight to SP3 if you wanted.
somabc Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 I'm sure I read somewhere SP3 had to have at least SP1 first or perhaps I imagined that?
PeterW Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Hmm your making me doubt myself now This is from the SP3 download Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP; Windows XP Home Edition ; Windows XP Home Edition N; Windows XP Media Center Edition; Windows XP Professional Edition ; Windows XP Professional N; Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Starter Edition; Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Windows® XP So I assume that goes for slipstreaming as well.
sparkeh Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I'm sure I read somewhere SP3 had to have at least SP1 first or perhaps I imagined that? I have read that slipstreaming SP3 with an original or SP1 XP can cause problems but I dont know true that is. I use SP2 release for this anyway.
