Consider the following scenario. In the BIOS setup of a Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Vista-based computer, you change the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) mode of the boot drive to use the either Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification or RAID features. You then restart the computer. In this scenario, you receive the following error message:

STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

This issue occurs if the disk driver in Windows 7 is disabled. This driver must be enabled before you change the SATA/RAID mode of the boot drive.

When you start a Windows 7-based computer after you attach a RAID disk, you receive a Stop error message on a blue screen. The Stop error message resembles the following:

STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

This issue occurs if the RAID driver is disabled in Windows 7. This driver must be enabled before the SATA controller mode is changed.
