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.

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.
