Dosen't help much...

SATA/Raid drivers correctly installed?? .. sounds like a driver/xp boot problem

 

[Eguy]

ok ok what am i thinking .... AUSTRUMI a live linux distro (runs from disk) it was created to facilitate 'accessing' windows machines (and resetting their passwords ROFL) it should allow u to edit the info in the boot.ini .. u may need to remove one of the disk in the raid 1 .. or edit both identically

the current version uses kernel 2.6.12 so should support ur SATA flawlessly

its on 50 MB hell i could get it on dial up @ tm .. its boot menu provides options to boot austrumi , run memtest , scan the disk for errors and reset the current machines windows password to something of ur choosing

alright... I got it up.. But i am having the same problem I had before

The system hangs and locks up at the login screen (says windows is starting up) for about 2-5 min and after it shows my account and I can put my password in. At this time all my usb stuff is not on and I cant use any of my usb stuff. But if I unplug one of the cables it boots...

weird becuase It started after I installed 77.72 but I uninstalled it, ran it on a single card all the same..also it happens on the 77.77 (new) and on all the other releases.

Anybody got an idea WTF is up

 

[Eguy]

Fixed

damn those wireless cards...

 

[Dav0s]
