I have recently added a IDE , I know its old but it was lying about and I needed to back up my files. After 15-20 mins of using my computer it blue screens. I have tried the jumpers, ribbon cable and psu but still gives me error 0x0000007e.

thanks for the help in advanced

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

As for backing stuff up, which software are you using?

 

Personally, i use MiniTool Partition Wizard and i just clone the whole drive

I just copy and paste personal files, as reinstalling windows dose not bother me.

Oh, well that kinda explains the cause, because the error refers to data getting put into a area where the disk hasnt been paged

Hello fixitnow :)

 

@theanimun gave you some excellent explanations. 


I would try to avoid using old drives for backups as this may pose danger to your data and you may be risking a major data loss. 


I'd rather put that drive in an external enclosure and use it as a data drive and consider another option for a better and more reliable backup option.
