Re: Windows XP hangs on startup after the windows logo shows

Can you provide a copy of the Stop Error Report?

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should
help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly.
Keep pressing the F8 key during StartUp and select option
- Disable automatic restart on system failure.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until
you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.

Hope this helps.

HELP!!! My PC experienced a power outage and when it rebooted Windows
XP SP2 OEM version boots to the Safe Mode screen but I am not able to
boot from any of the choices. If I select any of the choices the
Boot.ini file loads everything fine with the last file being Mup.sys
and then blue screens with this message, "Windows NT could not start
because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem." This
system has been running fine for well over a year and I've made no
hardware changes or BIOS modifications. I have an ASUS P5AD2-E
Premium MoBo using the Intel 925EX chipset. I configured my system
using the Intel(R) Application Accelerator RAID Option ROM
v4.5.0.6448 with 2 Seagate Barracuda drives in RAID 0. At boot the
RAID controller shows the RAID to be fine and I'm not getting any
hardware failure notices during boot at all. All the hardware posts
look like they always did which makes me think something went wrong
in Windows XP SP2. I always run auto update and had all the latest
patches etc. Up-to-date Symantec Internet Security with AV and
firewall and 4 different spyware programs run daily. If I run the
Windows XP Recovery Console I cannot run Winnt32.exe /cmdcons and all
I can see is the C:\ root directory with nothing in it. It looks
like a totally blank C:\ drive. Chkdsk will not run saying there is
a configuration problem with the partition but I did not make any
partition changes and I was not installing anything or changing any
hardware when my system crashed. Is there any way I can recover the
system? If not the system, any hope of recovering my data from the
RAID 0 drives?
