Booting into Windows XP Pro

[Guest]

I reinstalled my OS, setup a Raid0 configuration and everything was working
fine, I moved the computer into another room and now when it boots i only get
to the windows xp splash screen and it reboots. I tried last known good
config, and safe mode.. in safe mode it boots until i see mup.sys, then it
reboots again. I have no way to get past it, any ideas ??

Since the computer was moved, check your connections carefully. If
comfortable doing so, check the connections inside the case as well. It's
not unheard of for a cable or a card to wiggle loose.

Sharon,

Yea been there done that already, nothing inside changed, it has to do with
the OS, but im not sure what the mup.sys controls, or how to fix it rebooting
at that location.

mup.sys is a red herring. The screens that show the safe mode drivers
loading show drivers that have loaded successfully. Since you see mup.sys,
it is loaded. It's whatever driver that follows mup.sys that is causing the
hang.

You may want to try the "simplify" method. Disconnect all extras, keeping
only the necessary devices for booting to the operating system. Concentrate
just on getting the machine to boot successfully. Once that happens, the
rest of the stuff - extra devices, peripherals - can be added back one
device at a time.
