What are the other parameters in the STOP message? Have you got access to any minidump files?
STOP 0x7B is INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. If you can't boot Windows, how are you going to run Device Manager? Secondly, assuming you can get access to the Windows installation, you must start the AHCI or SATA device driver prior to placing the disk into the new machine. Windows *won't boot* if the correct mass storage controller isn't set to boot startup. It won't be detected at boot time.

I cant format reinstall because there is a proprietary app on it- but the goal is to correct it via recovery console and clone the disk when the new tower arrives- as the new tower will be sata (current is pata) anything to watch out for when cloning- I presume to login to current dvc mgr unistall ide controller - clone reboot and let windows find drive controller TIA and happy holidays JP
