When you try to restart a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 2.0 for Windows Vista system that uses an AMD Barcelona processor and that has the Operating System Capabilities (_OSC) method enabled in the Dell BIOS, the system will continually restart. Additionally, you may receive the following Stop error message on the screen:

STOP: 0×0000007B: (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

Notes:

• The four parameters in the Stop error message vary depending on the computer’s configuration.
• Not all “Stop 0×0000007B” error messages are caused by this problem.
