When you start your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer after you swap the drive on the computer, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:

STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE

This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a different chipset than the original motherboard.
