HELP! XP wont boot

[mylok]

HELP! please. I installed the latest chipset drivers for my MSI K8N Neo4 SLI and I started having random reboots. So I uninstalled the drivers (i wanted to revert back to v6.39)and rebooted into safe mode and ran driver cleaner. now i get a blue stop screen when windows loads (normal or safe mode).

Stupid me I forgot about the raid drivers (winxp is installed on a raid array connected to the nforce sata connectors). i assume windows no longer has drivers for the raid drive and cant load. is there anything i can do short of reinstalling windows. PLEASE HELP 🙁

anyone have and ideas?

system specs? (including power supply brand and model number or wattage)

edit: when you installed windows did you hit f6 when it said "press f6 to install 3rd party raid/scsi drivers"?

i did a repair booting off the winxp cd and everything works now. i did have to re-download all the windows updates but it works.

I met the same problem before. I resolved the problem by reinstalling the OS.
Stupid way but always works.
