I suddenly started getting this error when trying to boot up my computer. I have made no changes to the pc, it was working fine and this suddenly started. The error appears and then the pc asks if I want to start in Safe mode, etc. When picking any option it reboots and starts the whole process over again. I can never get past this.
Have searched for this error but only find to disable the onboard promise controller - no effect.
I have a k8vse mobo. XP. Maxtor HD.
Any ideas?

Will it boot to safemode ? ?
If so do that and re-install your MBoard drivers...
Also re-install your drivers for the RAID card if you are using one.
-
No, it will not boot to any of the options. Safe Mode, last known configuration...
I am not using RAID. I have initially tried to reinstall windows (before I did more research) and doing a repair on windows did not even complete. I might try to get into DOS and see if I can do a reinstall of the MB drivers from there.

If you had a failed repair install you had best backup any data you need because a clean install of XP is the only option to get out of this mess.
Hook up your drive as a slave in another machine and get it while you can...the further you try to recover from this the further away your data gets.
