When I try to install Windows XP Professional Edition on my K7S7AG motherboard, I receive the following "stop error" (blue screen): Stop 0x0000007A KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. I've read that's caused by some incompatibility with the IDE controller, and then I've tried to press F6 while booting from the WIN XP cd and using the drivers provided with the motherboard cd copied into a floppy disk, but I kept receiving the same "stop error". I also receive messages that WIN XP couldn't find the video, LAN, and everything else that's onboard. My question is: how should I proceed to install Windows XP on a K7S7AG without having any incompatibility problems, since I can't install the drivers BEFORE installing Windows XP? Please, help me! I've already lost a whole week of sleep because of this Blue Screen!!! ;( My hardware (already tested, no physical problems with any of it): - Mobo: ECS K7S7AG LU - CPU : AMD Duron 1600 - RAM : 256Mb DDR - 333 Mhz - HD : Quantum Fireball lct 20 - 20Gb - Video, LAN, Modem, Audio: Onboard.

Yesterday I finally managed to install WINXP - I simply changed some cables, and it worked! I suspect it was a bad flat cable, after all... at least, I HOPE that was the problem, and not something more serious. Well, thank you, everyone! And let's pray that everything works from now on...

No, I'm installing from the CD-ROM. But I guess your problem is the same as mine - the drivers! But you're lucky, at least you have an OS already running...
