I'm having an issue with my machine where XP Pro reboots as it boots
up. I'll try and provide as much info as possible for this.
When I attempt to boot in to safe mode, the last driver that appears
to load is agp440.sys. The machine reboot immediately after that.
I've tried selecting the boot log option after hitting F8. One does
not appear to be generated in the root of C. I check this by pulling
the drive from one computer and putting it another.
I've tried getting in through the recovery console using my XP CD but
it doesn't prompt me to select which Windows installation I want to
repair. When I get to the DOS prompt and type dir, I something about
failing to enumerate directory contents (I apologize for not having
the full error message).
When I try and do a repair install, setup can't find my installation.
I have hit F6 to ensure that my IDE controller drivers are loaded.
I've replaced the motherboard with the exact version since I initially
thought that it might be a hardware (IDE controller) problem.
All of this points to something wrong with the HD. I did use the on-
board RAID controller to create a mirror. This may have created an
issue where the partition table is not entirely correct.
So my question is: what can I do next. I really do not want to format/
re-install. When I put the drive in my other computer, the data is
accessible. I ran full chkdsk and everything came out clean. Ideas?
