Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on Windows 2000 Server
I recently had and intervention on a company that reported a blue screen of death on one of their servers.
Error was:
0x0000007B
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
The server had the role of SQL Server for one of their ERP applications. Specs of so called “server” were:
Intel Core Duo CPU
2 GB RAM
2 x S-ATA HDD (RAID1)
In fact this was a normal PC, with the function of a server. The bad idea was to make on this system PC a RAID1 using that motherboard and no additional controller.
Going to BIOS I found out that settings were reset by the motherboard battery malfunction and the on-board mode for HDD controller was set to S-ATA mode and not on RAID.
After fixing the problem, their server booted flawless into the windows.
I know this seems a silly and simple idea, but hope it helps people who encounter this type or error on their systems, even if they have server or pc systems.
