I was trying to rid a virus on XP, unable to boot in "safe mode," I performed this step - Go Start\Run then type msconfig and click OK.
- Select the Boot.ini tab on the System Configuration menu
- Check the box to the left of /SAFEBOOT
- Click OK and reboot the system
Now computer will not boot and I get error message on blue screen Stop: 0x0000007e(0xc0000005,0x80537009,0xf7a7a3e0,0xf7a7a0dc)
Not sure what to do, since I can't even boot up now in regualr/normal mode. Please help...
Thanks.

Have you tried booting with Last known good configuration?

Yes, that does not work either.

I have just had the identical problem ...

Attempting to boot in safe mode having set the SAFEBOOT in msconfig in order to address a virus / malware problem. I get the Advanced Boot Options screen but no further. The Blue Screen with the error STOP: 0X0000007E etc. comes up next whatever option I select - Normal, Safe Mode, Last known good configuration ...

What to do? Any ideas? Incidentally, the machine is a mini-laptop with no CD-drive so I can't boot from an alternative drive.

Thanks
