I have an HP Pavilion g7-1073nr running on Windows 7 Home Premium OA that I purchased from Qvc. It just ran out if warranty a week ago and now I am hit with a Blue screen of Death. Every single time I turn on the laptop, it opens to the standard black screen with the HP symbol in the center. The screen then changes to a "Starting Windows" screen where the windows symbol begins to assemble itself and suddenly before it can finish, a blue screen flashes for a fraction of a second and it shoots me right back to the black HP screen. I have tried to access safe mode, system restore, clearing CMOS to default settings, and start up repair and the blue screen kicks me back every time. This is the stop message on the blue screen: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF88009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC000000D,
0x0000000000000000,
0x0000000000000000). I have to bypass the blue screen to access some important user files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus.

This could be a big problem as it could indicate a failing or failed hard drive also.

Have you recently updated any drivers?
Do you have a cdrom drive on the laptop?
We may be able to get access to the data if the drive is still mechanically working so I would like to do that first to make sure your data is backed up.

I had this problem a few years ago. To resolve it, you need to get a linux live CD or live USB (USB recommended). You can even do this with Ubuntu and I didn't need to delete or reinstall anything. Once you have the live USB:

* Boot it up and get to the linux desktop
* Navigate to and open Terminal
* Type "su" and press enter. (this makes you root - basically administrator)
* Type "cfdisk" and press enter.
* You will see all your partitions on your hard disk. They are e.g. hda1 (probably your C:), hda5 (D:) ... Check those where filesystem is NTFS.
* Write these down! You should then have a list like: hda1, hda5, hda6
* Exit cfdisk.
* Now type: "ntfsfix /dev/hda1" and press enter.
* Do this and replace hda1 with all occurences on your list.
* Reboot your computer

This will force Windows to do a checkdisk for you. Four months of tearing my hair out and this ten minute trick worked for me and lost no data or anything.
