Registry File Failure BSOD after RAID repair

SBS2K with Adaptec 1200A IDE RAID 1

After replacing a failed disk, the RAID 1 duplicated the info to the new
mirror disk from the existing survivor. All booted up fine (well, to be
exact, I had disabled all the Trend stuff the previous day before the
grinding drive finally failed, so it booted up without the Trend AV
modules).

However, when I enabled the Trend and rebooted for the server to start up
with all progs blazing, I got a 'one of yourd disks needs to be checked for
consistency' and then a few 'deleting corrupt attribute record from file
record segment' type messages, before the OS fully loaded.

In fact, it never loaded again...I now just get BSOD:
STOP: c0000218 (Registry file failure)
The reg cannot load teh hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent or not writable.

Have tried with the new mirror drive alone, no go either. But when I take
the drive out and attach it to a normal PC, all seems to read fine.

Any ideas?
