Error 0x0000007b is generally what is known as a Stop Error. These error messages can happen when a computer is first put together, new hardware is added to the system or when something has happened to any number of critical software programs on the system in question. What the exact error message is that follows Error 0x0000007b can tell from where the problem starts.
This particular Stop code can be translated as INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, and normally happens at the beginning of the boot up cycle. Basically, Windows loses the ability to access the hard disk and the files on it. Since the computer has not booted up to the debugging part of file system, there really isn’t much to do aside from look at the possible causes:
• A corruption in the hardware
• A Master Boot Record virus
• Driver issues
• Registry problems
When the reason for the Error 0x0000007b comes up as being a registry issue, there is a way to restore the computer to a previous state and that is called the Restore Point. You can make a restore point manually in Windows but, generally speaking, for the average computer user, having it done for you is normally better and safer.
The registry is essentially a big database that is used by a Windows based computer that stores all of the setting information for a computer. Whenever a computer starts, it goes through the registry to make sure it sets up the system the same way it was when it was turned off. The registry also stores all the information about all the programs installed on the computer.
When your computer boots up it goes through the registry for all the information and data it needs to load up to make the system load up properly and work. If there is something entered wrong in the registry, the system can fail to load and an error message just like Error 0x0000007b can pop up and ruin the day.
There is a program called RegCure and its main function is to fix errors and mistakes in the registry. It will not only do that but, it can create a backup of your registry in case a problem arises with the registry in its current state. RegCure can also make a restore point for you so that you can return the computer to a point before Error 0x0000007b appeared and ruined your day.
