I installed some new drives on my scsi rig and have ended up losing Windows. I had the usual string of corruptions (Hal.dll went
)
I replaced Hal.dll, did a Fixmbr, and Fixboot. I've taken out the offending enclosure and it still won't boot. I can get into Safe Mode without network support, but if I try it with network support it hangs. I've tried switching off the 2 Gigabit ports on the mobo (Nforce and Marvell on a DFI-Sli DR) but that doesn't help.
Am about to for a full reformat and start again - but thought I'd float it here and see if anyone has any ideas.
I initially thought it was the ubiquitous Mup.sys as that's where it appeared to hang, but this is not the case - did some research and it was suggested that it might have been a hardware conflict (new drives...) so I reset the ESCD in the bios - no joy - reset the bios - no joy.
Help?
