Troubleshoot windows driver errors
If you faced below error:
In windows 98
1. device driver not found: 'oemcd001' no valid cdrom device drivers selected
2. program cannot be run in DOS mode

In windows SP1 or windows SP2
1. STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)

There is complicated solution for this error is to edit autoexec.bat and config.sys from boot files to create cdrom driver.

What I did is simple changed the BIOS setting. Go to BIOS->Main->SATA mode->Change AHCI to IDE and save the setting. You will be able to boot now without error.

Now if you get below error while booting from hard drive

Then all you have to do is to FDISK partition table
