SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows XP Setup after you copy an image to a new target computer, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Sysprep.inf file (the Sysprep answer file) that was used on the master computer (before the image was created) was missing the [SysprepMassStorage] section.
RESOLUTION
When you use the [Sysprep] section with the "BuildMassStorageSection=yes" parameter in the Sysprep.inf file, you should ensure that the [SysprepMassStorage] section is present in conjunction with the [Sysprep] section.
Example:
[Sysprep]
BuildMassStorageSection=yes
[SysprepMassStorage]
The [Sysprep] section automatically generates the entries in the [SysprepMassStorage] section, and without this section, required mass storage devices cannot be loaded, and a STOP 0x7B error message is generated.
MORE INFORMATION
For more information, see the Support\Deploy.cab\Deploy.chm and Ref.chm files in the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM.
