Once again back with another problem with my computer...

I recently bought VERIZON's Droid incredible. With the phone you can "TETHER" it to the computer so you can get to the internet on the mobile connection. Our internet was disconnected today so I figured i'd give it a shot.

I updated to service pack 3, I downloaded the program to do the tethering, I let my phone install drivers. I couldn't get my computer to connect to the internet through my phone so I restarted. I ended up with this BSOD:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run chkdsk /f to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:
*** stop: 0x0000007b (0xf789e528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I get the BSOD on every start up now. I can't boot into safe mode or last known good config. I don't know enough to go into the other boot options like when you press f2 or f8.

I can't find my recovery CDS and dell gave me the run around when I tried asking them to mail me copies of them again (computer's out of warranty). So I'm hoping this can be FIXED without reinstalling windows. 

I have a dell inspiron e 1505 laptop
Windows xp media center edition 2005, sp3

Most likely the Safe mode or the last known good configuration will be the easiest route that will fix the problem One of the most common Blue Screen errors faced by the computer users with a Windows xp operating system is the “STOP 0×0000007B” popularly known as 0×7B or “Inaccessible Boot Device”. This error is generally caused due to severe problem in the hard drive controller. Beside this, a virus attack in the boot sector or a corruption in the data or an improper installation of the hard drive or wrong configuration of the drive in the BIOS may also be responsible for this problem.
