Hi got a PC that won't boot, in fact it gives an error regarding
\windows\system32\config\system not being accessible or corrupt
if only it were that simple
system setup is as follows
dual sata drives configured as striped raid array with win xp home sp2
installation on and some important data stored there.
third hdd with my documents stored
fourth hdd with some backups of installation scripts
all formatted ntfs
I've accessed the recovery console without loading the SATA drivers on and
everything works as it should apart from my inability to access the my
documents folder to try and copy it to another removable drive. I suspect
that if I removed it and connected it to another pc I would still have the
same problem. Oh obviously I can't see the raid array either which is a
problem for fixing the config error.
If I add the required sata drivers as soon as the recovery console attempts
to analyse the striped discs i get a stop error.
STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001902FA,0xF7CA6B70,0xF7CA6870,0xF744283D)
ntfs.sys - Address F744283D base at F7431000, DateStamp 3d6de5c1
This error occurs if I select reinstall windows or recovery console.
running chkdsk or any other software seems to be out of the question as I
can't get to an kind of gui or command prompt while still having access to
the sata drives.
can anyone advise on how to recover this machine, access the data or just
plain fix it???
TIA
