Windows XP installer does a blue screen of death on installation, with a STOP: 0×0000007B error. Installation fails due to the BSOD and is not recoverable.
In this particular instance, it means Windows cannot detect and load the correct harddisk controller driver, because it does not support the default SATA operation mode in the Dell BIOS.
In BIOS, in the Drives — SATA Operation, you can change from the default RAID/AHCI mode to RAID/ATA mode (not Legacy mode), and Windows setup will now run.
- We have one Optiplex 755 minitower running the Intel SATA Raid 1, as ordered from the factory, we'd like to convert a second minitower 755, which has only one sata drive, purchased around the same time to a raid 1, by adding a second hard drive of the same size.
- Re: Optiplex 755 MT, HD Won't Boot I think that I just figured out that the 2 - 250GB HDs were a pair or in RAID. That is a new one for me and I guess I am going to have to figure this out as to how to recover it.

A user online has reported the same problem, albiet with a slightly different solution: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=107364c :
The user there recommends installing the updated BIOS, which then enables a “Legacy” mode to be selected in the SATA Operation menu. Then the user loads Windows XP and with F6, loads the Dell SATA drivers. From my testing, you do not actually need to load the Dell SATA drivers, but I believe this user was using a different OS (XP SP2 32-bit) and that may be a factor.
The Dell BIOS update (rev A04) was released 6 November and is available on the Dell site at http://support.dell.com/ .
' 5. Added SATA legacy mode support for older operating systems. '
This update is labeled as “URGENT” according to Dell. It adds a “Legacy” mode support for the SATA operation, although we do not need to use this mode, so I am unsure if we need it or not.
