Hello.
Having problems with my hard drive and/or windows xp files.
Earlier this evening, my computer bsoded. Didnt get a chance to read it as i was watching tv. Computer restarted booted into windows. After about a minute it did the same thing, except it wont boot into windows.
Sometimes when i try to boot into windows it gives me a message like
"\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM" is corrupt."
It tells me to use the recovery console via the xp cd, i get into it but then im baffled as to what to do lol. I did run a chkdsk and it said there was an unrecoverable problem or something like that.
My hard drive setup is current in a raid 0, with 2 120gb seagate s-ata drives.
One of the hard drives, or possibly both not sure, was making a wierd noise, like a change in pitch kind of. Hard to explain.
Up until sunday i had just been running 2 drives, one for windows one for games etc. I also added 2 more sticks of ram to make 4 total, but i doubt that would effect it.
Just wondering if one of my hard drives is dead, or whether its just because part of windows has become corrupt and needs to be repaired.
If one of my drives is dead, its not the end of the world as i backed up stuff for when i re formatted on sunday.
Anyone know if my drive will still be in warrenty, its about 3 1/2 years old.
Thanks
