Please help,
For some inexplicable reason my computer will no longer finish booting. It
gets to the initial Windows XP screen with the moving bar then the screen
goes blank. It will also not start in safe mode. I get a list of files
loading and then the computer freezes. When I try to reinstall windows over
the original version I do not get that option, only a reinstall that will
wipe out what is already on the hard drives. Perhaps this is because I am
running a raid array? I ran chkdsk in the restore console but that fdid not
make any difference. I would like to just reformat the system but I need to
save files before doing so. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for help!
