Thanks for any help!
Specs are:
AMD64 3000
Gygabyte K8N-Pro
2B Pc3200 Crucial
2X 80B Western Digital SATA Hard Drives in RAID Zero
Radeon 9800 Pro
windows XP home SP2
no overclocks, a few extra fans.

I get the missing or corrupt file error when booting, <windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
-I tried to boot from the XP CD to repair it, but if still gives same error.
-I changed BIOS to boot from CD-ROM first. When it comes to prompt for hit any key to boot from CD I do so, still get same error message.
I think the problem is that the system is not recognizing my RAID 0, so it doesn't see any drives on the system.
I can't get to the screen in repair mode that asks you to "press F6" to enter RAID setup.
I Google'd the error but all the fixes talk about using the CD to repair the problem, since I can't do that I need further help.
I downloaded a NTSF.boot disk from Bootdisk.com, but I don't think I have enough knowledge to mess around with that stuff.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the system to recognize my hard drives? I think there is a way to change the boot order in BIOS to recognize the RAID first, but I don't know how.
Thanks in advance for the help...
