Ultimate x64 BSOD on Boot. Please help second time.
I've had the same computer and setup for 2 years now. I was playing a game and the power went out, something that has happened several times over the years with XP. When I rebooted, windows would not start. It would give me a stop error and hang at loading disk.sys in safe-mode. Windows recovery found no problems and would not repair anything. chkdsk passed and I was able to boot into a console and backup files on a spare drive.
It's been working fine for the last few weeks, but this morning I had an application hang. I was unable to end-task it, and eventually had to hard reboot.
Immediately after powering back-on, I got this message. BOOTMGR is corrupt, unable to boot windows. I tried windows recovery from the 7 cd-rom, no problems found. I disabled my other drives (spare backup, cd-rom) and windows attempted to boot, but then BSOD (like the first-time) Now each reboot gives me a stop error: c000021a
When I attempt to boot into safe-mode, just like before when it reaches ..\drivers\disk.sys, it hangs for a few minutes, then BSOD. (I have heard it's the driver after the last listed that's the problem?)
I have 3 HD's in a raid0 (same setup for two years) When this happened the first time I broke apart the raid, did complete chkdsks and low-level formats on each drive then reformed the raid before installing windows 7 again.
I'm not sure what to do at this point and my question is can anyone help? I would rather not have to go through console backup/format again.
Thanks!
