That is the same thing I got after getting a virus with XP. The IT wiz at work said it is a BAD one and wished me luck getting rid of it (he wouldn't touch it). I bought a new computer with windows 8 (WINDOWS 8 SUCKS!!!!). Bill Gates is the antichrist.

Download Ultimate Boot CD. and burn the iso image to a CD. Boot the affected machine from the CD, and run partimage. Delete any partitions on the hard drive (you were gonna do that anyway, no?), then create and format an ntfs partition. Might want to run one of the pci sniffer programs to make sure all the pci devices show up. If not, probably hardware is your problem.

I goggled windows stop code 7e, and came up with mumble(too much).
What is plugged into the PCI slots? Anything off the wall? If you have added a video card or replaced it, or a PCI disk controller, and can remove either or both, try that.
The suggestion was to dance on F8 when booting, and get to the screen where you can select 'safe mode', and do a 'restore' from previous known good .... Sure.
If you have done a new install, it may be Softy has picked the wrong driver for a PCI device. I think you can check driver versions and such in safe mode.

if you can boot in safe mode, then maybe all is not lost.
if you get this error in safe mode, then the installation is toast. recover any data you want, and wipe - reinstall.
(I detest reinstalling XP. Getting all the drivers and everything setup right takes about a day or two of time. - 6/28/14, 12:00 PM

Just to add more soup to the fire, did you cut the 3T disk into smaller chunks?(partitions)
I think I understand you partitioned, loaded XP, and got this on re-boot. (cursed gently a few times, walked to the kitchen for a cold beverage...) and are now looking for cures.
If you have the old disk, put it in as C:, install, reboot, etc, and add new the larger one for just storage, possibly sliced up by source or vintage... or am I full of beans?

Anonymous:
I was about to say that the computer could use the disk without problem, but I remembered that it depends on the computer.
Some computers will treat it as a 2TB disk and work fine. Some computers will behave weirdly and "wrap around" the numbers (thus a 3TB drive appears as a 1TB drive).
It's hard to say without having access to the computer.
If it behaves the first way, then Windows XP can still use the disk, just not completely. - 6/28/14, 12:53 PM

Lots of good ideas here, but on reflection it's pretty hard to do anything interactive with a corpse. But Wait!

Brand new 3T Disk Drive.

I should've said in my last comment: try to find a BIOS update. That will sometimes fix problems with new hard drives.

Is this a 32 vs 64 bit issue. I have HP install disks for W7, W8 PRO both 32 and 64 bit. On the right HP box these will auto-activate. W7 Home Premium upgrade versions will activate with the PID on the box label.
I'm in France at the moment doing genealogical research on your claim to the throne. Will return next week with the proof.

We all sound like we are approaching the 'shake a chicken bone at while dancing around it in circles wearing a grass tutu' stage. The crap we have to do to keep our electronic gear performing is getting out of hand.

Just nuke A-L-L that shit from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. No offense.

Hold down the "R" key while you power on the computer. That'll grab the recovery partition from the web (ethernet or WiFI; your choice), and from there you can restore OS X or do a complete wipe of the drive and throw a clean OS X install on it.
I'm told it takes about 30-60 minutes from start to finish (I've never had to do it), depending on your internet speeds. - 6/29/14, 3:29 AM

I haven't had a virus on my Windows 8.1 with Windows Defender. But I do not go to porn sites and I do not click o links from people I don't know or links from people I do know without clear explanations about what the link is and why I should go. Facebook constantly sends out emails in your friends names with a link and nothing more. I do not touch those.
I find Windows 8.1 to be dependable and reliable and easy to configure. - 6/29/14, 8:21 AM
