Sorry about the delay. Below are the HWIDs

Will also try building the machine from a vanilla CD and see what result I get.

Hi,

I am getting a STOP 0x0000007E error during the text based setup at the point where it says "Setup is starting Windows". I am using all of the latest driver packs and also have mass storage text mode slipstreamed. At this stage it only seems to be happening on a fairly recent core2duo machine. older machines seem to be working fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh
