Intel Motherboard/BIOS question...NEED HELP!

I just installed an Intel DP35DP motherboard into my buddy's computer. The only thing that's new is the motherboard and CPU; everything else is the same. When I started it up I got a blue screen of death with this message: 0x0000007b error code, followed by a reboot. I've checked the Intel website for all the help and that doesn't seem to work. I installed the RAID Driver and have messed around with the drive configuration in the BIOS to no avail. The help page I'm looking at is here: http://www.intel.com/support/chipset.../cs-015988.htm I'm most intrigued by this message:

NOTE: If you are using a SATA hard drive, the best choice is to set your BIOS to RAID mode and install the operating system using the F6 installation procedure; RAID mode allows your system to be "RAID Ready" and also enables AHCI. This mode provides the greatest overall flexibility and upgradeability.

He has a SATA hard drive with WinXP Home already on it and we've changed the drive configuration in the BIOS to try to get it to work but it still hasn't. He is not running a RAID system and only has the one hard drive. My question is does he have to wipe his hard drive clean and reinstall windows or is there another way around this? Everytime it can get past the WinXP loading screen but as soon as it tries to load the OS I get that BSOD with that error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A quick Google search and it seems like people have been running into similar issues although most people are trying to install Windows from scratch on a SATA drive. I saw this solution which might work:

This may be of interest to anyone experiencing similar difficulties.

I was able to load XP on a SATA drive in an Intel DP35DP based system using an IDE optical drive in the following fashion.

In the BIOS, I selected "RAID" as the drive mode, and selected the CD drive as the boot drive.

On another system, I copied the RAID files from the Intel RAID driver floppy disk to a different location.

Using the freeware program nLite, I made an ISO image of XP. During the process nLite prompts for location of drivers. It is only necessary to point to the file containing the complete contents of the RAID floppy disk; nLite takes the .inf files that it needs. The last stage of nLite is to burn the ISO image to a CD.

I then booted from the ISO image CD and XP loaded. When prompted, I partitioned and formatted the SATA drive. Windows then finished loading in the normal way.

Best of Luck.
You could use nLite to create an ISO of Windows XP with the RAID drivers included, boot using that disc, and do a Repair Install. Of course, you should hook the hard drive back into a working system and backup important data if possible before doing the Repair Install.
