Microsoft has given us another hint for a fix that's going to be included in WindowsXP SP3. Sometimes users may get a "Stop 0x000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error message after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2. The downloadable fix is available by calling Microsoft Support and requesting it if absolutely needed. Note that the fix they give you may still be in testing.
