I was simply restarting my compie for something, I think it was
because it was being tiffy. Anyway, it began starting up and did the
Win XP screen, with the little blue bar running across the screen. It
would go half way across the bar, then freeze, then keep going, then
it'd do that for about 2 minutes. Finally, it'd flash a BSOD it was
far too quick for me to see anything besides that notable flash of
blue.

Anywho.. so it won't start, so I try the automatic next thing, going
to Safe Mode. Anywho, it freezes at mob.sys, and stays there for
about 5-10 minutes, then finally comes up with the message;

'An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The
Registry could not read in, write out, or flush, one of the files that
contain the system's image of the Registry.'

Normally, I'd just be like, 'Cool, let's just restart the whole damn
thing.' BUT, I really do NOT want to lose the precious information on
this RAID 0 array. I'd rather leave it alone and never use it then to
restart it and lose everything. Let me reiterate, I will absolutely
NOT restart this harddrive and will do anything to recover the
information on it.

What do you suggest?
Preferably to save the information on my harddrive?

I second Malke's advice. You should call a data recovery specialist before
going any further. As you used RAID 0 it will be very complicated to recover
any data yourself.
