I have a lenovo r61i laptop windows xp professional service pack 3 intel pentium dual cpu t2310 @ 1.46ghz x2. I had this problem before and somehow i fixed it i think i done a bios update this time it dosent work i just get blue screen with following stop code: 0x8e (0xc05, 0x80637f53, 0xa3fd299c,0x0) I have tried my memory modules by taking them out trying one at time and same problem i could get into safe mode with networking but now the networking will not work just safe mode i also tried selective startup and diagnostic startup still bsod used system restore it worked but then when i shut down laptop and went to use it again same thing again. can find loads info on code 8e but dont seem to help so i wrote the full code down as i dont know how to read these codes. i have no xp cd. sometimes i can get past bsod and get plain blue screen and get task manager up and i try new task explorer.exe but then bsod again

2013-02-22T02:44:30+00:00 umm whats the hdd?? IDE or SATA?? It looks like you can get that 0x0000008e stop error, if youre using an IDE hdd, but the setting in the BIOS is on AHCI
On one site a guy had the same stop error. From what he wrote 0x000008e meant it couldn't see the hdd. So wouldnt/couldnt boot into Windows. Sounds like a good reason lol
Because it was on AHCI in the BIOS. It should have been on IDE mode, because it's an IDE hdd.
And thats why XP was crashing because it couldnt see the hdd before it booted into windows
