0xC0000005 Dilema
Good afternoon Chaps,
As you can see I have just signed up to this forum, I found it after sticking 0xC0000005 into Google, I am unfortunately in quite a quandary and I desperately need your help.
I know it is perhaps frowned upon to request help in a new thread without really lurking before hand so I apologise in advanced and throw myself at the mercy of our benevolent admins, anyway, to my problem.
Due to a computer at my dads work shorting from what I believe was the connection from the front 2 USB and an Audio out sockets, It's a nasty old Dell Dimension 2400, seriously a small part of the board where the lead from the front sockets plug in to the motherboard has been carbonised.
So I've taken out the HDD and put it into his PC an ACER M5100 I believe, bit of a fiddle and it's in, great it recognises it and all the right data seems to be there, the problem is my dad runs a car bodyshop and uses an ancient peice of software called Bodymaster to do his Estimates and Invoices. Ofcourse it doesn't work with Vista, No Problem, just use the Dell HDD and unplug the other when he needs to do an estimate, except I get a BSOD when XP gets to the loading screen with the error codes 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xBA258750, 0xBA4E7430, 0xBA4E712c). It boots up in Safe Mode that much is good, gives me hope the situation isn't utterly dire.
This I'm afraid goes well beyond my rudimentary knowledge of PC's and as it's vital my dad has a computer to work on this is a definite emergency and I'm asking for any help you can give me.
I'm going to continue Google-lng and try and expand my knowledge.
Pete.

Was there any text after the codes? an error message separated by underscores?
If so, that error code would be about what i'd expect from hardware driver incompatibility.
Honestly, I'd first copy off the critical data from that drive onto the Vista machine so that it is not lost. I'd then find a machine that can run his program and use the drive from the Dell only as an add-on.
Btw- Welcome to Icrontic.
The only other option is to uninstall all the system drivers and try to install new XP drivers for the Acer on the Dell hard drive. That may help....
In any case, I think he puts the drive at risk and needs to copy off/backup first.
