I have just installed an image of my old PC onto a new PC (Dell optiplex 7040). Both the old and new have Intel RAID chips and the Windows 7 OS drives are configured for RAID1.
When I boot up the new PC I get stop error 0x0000007B.
This appears to be the result of the storage driver - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/316401.
This is what I have tried to resolve the issue:
1. I have tried installing the current Intel RAID RST driver before installing the image, but when the imaging is completed and I reboot, Windows still blue screens with the same error.
2. I have also tried to reset the disk to non-RAID (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/000006188.html), but keep RAID mode enabled in the BIOS and reboot, but still get the same error.
3. I can't boot into Safe Mode, it also blue screens with the same error.
If I configure the disks as AHCI mode, it boots okay. I can then uninstall the old drivers and install the newest Dell Intel RST drivers package and reboot and it's fine with the disks set to AHCI mode. But then If I configure the disks back to RAID mode in the BIOS, it blue screens with the same error.
I have even tried booting up in AHCI mode, installing the current Intel RST drivers from Dell, and correctly configured the registry keys (as listed in this MS Technet article) before taken a backup image again. Then I reboot, set the BIOS to RAID mode, configure the RAID volume, clean the disk and format the volume with diskpart, and restore the new image that has the new IntelRST drivers to the RAID volume. But when I reboot after finishing the image it blue screens with the same error.
I have tried a ridiculous number of other suggestions from around the web including:
