Error codes im giving represent something to do with a complete failure of critical system files (no shit!) and no matter what i try from here on. and everything is looking good, POST is exexuted and the green 'knightrider' startup screen shows and i start to feel quite proud(!) only for the screen to go black. From this i managed a partial result, the classpnp fault had gone, but now there was a complaint about winlogon.exe, so i again, using the Vista disc and the X:boot i replaced that file. So i tried booting from CD and then doing a manual repair of replacing classpnp.sys from the X: boot drive and putting back into the system32 folder. hardrives! I tried doing a boot from CD and attempting the repair command to be found on the installation disc, but no luck, Windows couldnt sort itself out at all. its something to do with SCSI hardware control. not so! Vista was having none of it and complained that the classpnp.sys file was corrupt or missing, and if your not sure what classpnp.sys is. The random thing here is the drive i managed to disconnect has now 'split' away from the other 3 in the original array, but the controller thinks it has 2 750gig RAID5 arrays? With a bit of thinking i managed to get the rogue disk back where it should be, and set the system to 'rebuild' in which case it seemed happy to do so.
not so! The RAID screen continued to tell me the RAID5 was degraded, so i duely jumped in and had a look. You would think i could plug it back in and away i go again. so im thinking one of the drives had failed? Although firstly i decided to check the insides of the machine before going to that length, and sure enough i had caught one of the power leads and managed to disconnect the drive. Starting the machine up again and the Nvidia RAID control on the way in tells me my RAID5 C:\ system drive is degraded :-S so i hop into the RAID settings and discover that one of the 4 drives is missing. checked what i needed to know, and duely returned it to the slot. So duely shut the thing down, turned off the PSU and opened up the side panel.
Well, ive managed to be offline for a while, as i managed to completely screw up my operating system and have had to endure a complete reinstall! I some how managed to do this as such! I needed to check something as regards the RAM installed in my machine.
