Hi

I dont think geting new graphics drivers or buying more
ram is going to help windows boot hehe

I am not sure on this but i think with some raids the
whole point of it is so tat if something like that does
happen your other harddisk can rebuild the data on the
corupt one wel thats what how our server at work goes
anyway.

I dont think you need more ram but another option is that
maybee your ram has become corupt therefor coupting any
files loaded to it i have seen this before maybee try
replacing the chips with a spear if you can get one and
try that

good luck :-)
