One XP drive boots, other gives blue screen

Hello all,

I recently installed SP2 onto a hard drive and it then only went to blue screen upon booting, shortly after XP splash screen. Safe mode and other advanced boot options all had same result:

Shutdown to prevent dammage
Stop 0x0000007E
(0xC0000005, 0xF8716750, 0xF894D454, 0xf894D154)

Tried repairing XP via the non-command prompt install method. Loaded XP on another drive so I could run chkdsk on the drive that is giving me blue screen. That "new" drive runs XP fine and no problems were shown with chkdsk. Pulled all video and NIC cards just to see, but no luck. When I startin safe mode, it does seem to hang on the \\system32\drivers\agp440.sys

Any ideas or suggestions to try gang? Although I can read the drive, I'd hate to have to reinstall all the software assuming I can even find disks for everything. Thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to lend.

Best Regards,

WBmore

 

Many thanks for the replies. Good news! Followed this microsoft link:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307545

and all worked out well. Basically made a batch file containing the following and ran it from the recovery console:

md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

Having to reinstall all drivers (and I do mean all) but at least my old apps are up and running and will give me a chance to make a backup before I try again.

I wonder if as per PeteC's reply, do I now have a shot at insalling sp2, now that this drive has gone through full driver reinstall with new 64 bit AMD chip. Again thanks for the replies.
