Re: Restart Loop after running Recovery Console

OK, used the <F8> key, and set to disable auto restart. Got the following
error message:

BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO

STOP: 0x00000074 (0x00000003, 0x00000002, 0x80084000, 0xc000014C).

Thanks.

Please post a complete 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. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure even after you have
solved the problem as it's better disabled. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Hope this helps.

Have run multiple Recovery Installs of XP SP2, and Recovery Console
(bootcfg, chkdsk /r, and fixboot). PC still goes into restart loop.
Was getting brief two or three line message on blue screen, but could
not see error message. It flashed too quickly. Also ran MAP ARC
command and boot.ini file looked ok.

Boot drive mirror was broken when upgrading raid controller firmware.
Was actually down graded to older code. Drives came up as "striped."
Kept one drive and put in USB case. Looks like file systems and data
are still intact. Have XP SP2 CD, but no boot disk or ASR disks, or
backup.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
