When I disable automatic restart I get this error message:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer. It then tells me to uninstall antivirus and
some other applications which is not possible since I can't boot the
PC.
The stop code is this:
Stop: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x867664E0, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I'm able to use the Windows XP SP2 OEM CDROM disk using the F6
command to load my RAID controller driver "iastor.sys" which is the
"Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)" and
then enter the Recovery Console which puts me at the C:\ prompt but
the drive is empty. When I try to run any of the chkdsk commands I
get this error message, "The volume appears to contain one or more
unrecoverable problems." When I do a DIR command on the partition I
get error message, "There's no floppy disk or CD in the drive." I'm
able to do a DIR on the floppy drive and the drive with the WinXP
CDROM and see the files. If I try and run the Winnt32 /cmdcons
command it says command not found even if I change directories to the
WinXT CDROM disk folder I386 which is where Winnt32.exe is located.
I did not create a Automated System Recovery disk backup so this
isn't an option forme.
I've also tried a floppy boot disk which gives me the same results as
using the hard drive. Unfortunately, I do not know if the BIOS.ini
file is correct for my RAID system. It's booting with
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\Windows. I tried changing the
multi(0) to scsi(0) but that didn't get me anything.
My guess is that partition is somehow messed up but I don't know how
to check it or recover it if it is corrupt. I know changing my RAID
volume with distroy any hope of recovery so I'm not touching that
area at all. One other thing. I did try changing the BIOS settings
to other RAID configurations and they all tell me either I don't have
that configuration or I get an error message of some sort or another.
This confirms for me that my BIOS settings are correct. Another FYI,
when I try to boot from Safe Mode it successrully loads 41 files but
stops at Mup.sys. It successfully loads files such as ntoskrnl.exe,
Hal.dll, ACPI.sys, PCI.sys, Mountmgr.sys, partmgr.sys, atapi.sys,
iaStor.sys, Si3114r.sys, SiWinAcc.sys, NTFS.sys, NDIS.sys, and
SiRemFil.sys.
I ordered a new SATA drive and it should be here tomorrow so I can
try to load WinXP into a different disk but I'm not sure this will
help but I've read some other posts where people seem to have some
luck doing this. My other line of thinking is that there is no way
I'm going to create another RAID configuration on this beast if I
can't recover from this problem. I'll do an install on a single
drive and do disk imaging to back it up. That's my last resort. I'd
really like to recover if there is any way to do it.

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.

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?
