I have just re-installed XP-Pro following a hard drive
crash. I have spent 2 days rebuilding this machine.

I then applied SP-1a and rebooted when requested. The
system now hangs at boot when loading MUP.SYS file. I
cannot get to the prompt to rename the file and run sfc
as suggested by kb841570.

The machine has 2 SATA drives with RAID-1 configured.
System was running fine until I installed the SP.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I tried to do the online
help from MS, but they want a product number - and of
course I can't get one of those because the machine won't
boot!!! What a fiasco!!

You can reply direct to me at BigD<@>nc.rr.com (remove the
<>'s around the @ symbol).

Thanks.
