hard drive trouble

Can some body help my mate ?

He has just bought a second hard drive and installed it, but when
windows boots up, it crashes and goes to a blue screen with this message:

The ACPI BIOS in this system is not fully compliant with the ACPI spec

please read the read me text for posible work arounds. Can also contact

your systems manufacturer, for updated bios, or visit www. hardware-update.com

to see if new bios is available.

All he is able to do is restart, and the same thing happens again.
His first hard drive is a MAXTOR 2F030J0 30 gig
And his new one is a MAXTOR 6Y120P0 120 gig
His bios is PHOENIX AWARD BIOS
And mother board is A CORP 7KMM

Thanks

 

Its me who is having the problems.. I'm not sure how I got my system to boot, but it up for the moment..



Here's the full error message:

*** STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00010003, 0x81AB0A90, 0X0000000A, 0X81A96914)

The ACPI BIOS in this system is not fully compliant with the ACPI specifications. Please read the README.TXT for possible workarounds. You can also contact your systems manufacturer for an updated BIOS or visit www.hardware-update.com to see if a new BIOS is available.


All I did was try installing a new HDD - A Maxtor 6Y120P0 120gb. This drive will be the a second (slave) drive running next to my main Maxtor 2F030J0 30gb. The jumpers are set right, etc.

I entered BIOS to enable the second drive, saved settings and rebooted.. Windows went to desktop, started loading AVG, ZoneAlarm, Mozilla, etc. then I got the blue screen of death with that warning.

I removed the second HDD, then restored the BIOS to its previous settings, then restarted, but I get the same error

I'm running Win2k SP4... The current BIOS is Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG, released on 01/12/02.

BIOS ID. 01/12/2002-8365-686B-6A6LNX8BC-00

OEM Sign on: 7KMM1 BIOS VER: 1.0 01-12-2002.



Any advice?

 

Fixed


My supplier was suposed to send me a copy of MaxBlast3, but they obviously forgot

Downloaded and fixed now though

 

Thanks for telling the fix and glad you go things running again.
