Your HDD cannot be accessed. Was your Win7 installation performed on your 6920 or another machine?

If it was a different machine incorporating a different IDE chip set then this can result in error 0x0000007B.

If this is the case, I would reformat the disk and install Win7 again.

If the error is the result of an IDE mismatch then there should not be a problem reformatting. On the other hand your error may be the result of a hardware failure in which case, even if a reformat was successful, you would still likely have problems.

I would give it a try and see how it goes (assuming you have no wish to preserve the current Win7 installation). Given that you were prompted to swap out the Vista HDD due to loading problems and you are now facing access problems with the Win7 HDD, there is a possibility that your motherboard has issues. I would try a reformat and fresh install if only to confirm that the motherboard is good.
