I have the ATI 2010 6053 on my PC and I have four partitions, one for files, one for Windows 7, one for XP and one for testing with clean installations of XP, Vista, 7 and Win2k.
I could usually restore the images of all OSes but now I can no longer successfully restore Win2k. The operation completes but when Win2k is starting shows a blue screen with error:
"STOP: 0x00007B (0x890005D0, 0xC000014F, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) - Inaccessible_boot_device"
"If this is the first time you see this screen ..."
Can anyone help me? I had a lot of work to install Win2k, I had to format my entire drive and I will not venture to install again ...
Thanks!!

Is this problem with an image that has been previously restored successfully?

Was anything done differently in this restore than in the previous ones that worked?

Are you using the standard version of TI 2010 or the Plus Pack version?

Is the BIOS still using the same controller mode as before?

There are two images, a clean installation and a full installation, I restored several times both images without problems. After the last restoration, the only thing I can remember that changed was I installed WinVista on this partition, I worked on it some time, I did a backup and a few days later I tried to restore the backup of Win2K. The two (clean and full) have the same error.
I'm using ATI Standard.
I have not altered anything in the BIOS.
Note: I also use OS Selector but the boot starts, the error happens during the boot (Win2k screen appears, progress bar and then error)

Thanks, MudCrab

Are the OSS installation files on the Win2K partition or are they on another (hopefully, non-OS) partition?

OSS keeps a copy of the boot.ini file and uses it instead of the one on the partition. It's possible that either that file is incorrect or the partition slots are now different (due to the various changes/restores). In OSS, right-click on the W2K menu entry and select Properties. Under the Files section, you should see the boot.ini file listed. Select it and click the Edit button. Check that it's referencing the correct partition. If you're not sure, please post back with the contents of the file.

Can you also post a screenshot of what DD shows (in Manual Mode) for your drives? It may help to see it.

---

Another option to try would be to deactivate OSS (don't uninstall it) and select the W2K entry as the default. Apply any fixes to get it booting normally and then reactivate OSS. Doing this will get OSS out of the way while repairs are being made. This can help sometimes because of how OSS tracks/uses the booting files and because OSS can't override any changes set manually (via DD, for example).
