I have a laptop that is displaying the BSOD stop error oxoooooo7e. I have gone through the repair function with Win XP Pro disc and still get the error. I cannot boot in the safe mode. I can get the DOS prompt so I ran CHKDSK /r and let it run for an hour or two and it came back with everything OK. Is there anything I can do from the DOS prompt that might help?  I have things backed up so I am guessing the next thing might be a clean reinstall but I would have to reinstall all programs and most drivers-I think- and this is not fun.
Thanks much!
1) What dos prompt? How are you getting to a dos prompt?
2) Here is how you are supposed to handle a 7E error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182Allan, Thanks for the LINK. 
Important information for the rest of us.
Now if he will also thank you, it will hit 600.      Nice work!I enter the recovery mode by booting with the Win XP disc-then choose to repair using the "revcoery console' then it finds my Winxp and then I enter the password then I can access the DOS prompt and run the chkdsk from there but upon rebooting, I still get the stop error.
ThanksOkay. I ASK because when you run chkdsk /r from the recovery console it NEVER reports that "everything is ok". It always says it found and repaired one or more errors.

EXACTLY when Do you get the blue screen error?

What is new or different since the last time everything worked PROPERLY (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, etc)?Just posted a reply before your suggestion. I found the MS help for this error before but I cannot get to a point to use the suggestions in that link.
 I was not in front of the computer when it finished chkdsk (since it took a long time)-I just assumed it fixed any errors.  This problem occured about the same time I updated the computer with lastest MS updates but it WAS working after that but very very slow so I tried the repair via booting with the XP disc and went thought the repair (NOT recovery console). It was then that I got the stop message and I have not been able to boot to WINDOWS nor to the safe mood since then. I can get the BIOS screen and the DOS prompt but still get the stop error when rebooting XP -thanks for your comments -any help will be appreciated. If I cannot get things fixed soon , I will do a clean reinstall and hope that works. Note: I have no external devices-all internal.  I do use at time a USB wireless but it was not hooked up during the rebooting.Let me see if I understand. You can boot to the XP CD. Then you choose the SECOND repair option and try to start a repair install - is that correct? If so, at what point do you get the blue screen error?
