SYMPTOMS
If you are using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) CD-ROM drive to
install Windows 2000 on certain legacy-free computers, you may
receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" Inaccessible_boot_device error
message while booting from the installation CD. Because many
legacy-free computers do not have a standard CD-ROM drive or
floppy disk drive, the USB CD-ROM drive may be the only method
for installing or recovering Windows.
CAUSE
Windows 2000 Setup does not support certain USB CD-ROM
drives as bootable devices. This causes error message during the
Text-mode portion of Setup.
RESOLUTION
Please contact your computer manufacturer for information about
obtaining updated Windows 2000 Setup disks that you can use to
boot your computer with a USB CD-ROM device.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft
products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
