OK, here is the error:
A problem has been detected......
Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time.........
Technical information:
***STOP: 0X000000D1 (0X00000030, 0X00000006, 0X00000000, 0XF73DD9A0)
*** viamraid.sys - Address F73DD9A0 base at F73D3000, datestamp 4063e304
I think that since I am unable to perform recovery, it is because the via driver that controls HDD is not functioning. Other thoughts? Thanks again
