Hi. Another one of my computers seems to be having issues. This time it tries to boot into windows vista, but after the load screen it gives me a blue screen and immediately restarts.

Even in safe mode, after loading the drivers it immediately gives me a blue screen and restarts. Maybe a drivers issue? Or is one of my hard drives failing? I have two raid hdd's installed and it says one of them is failing...

Any help would be appreciated.

Symbiotech,

Hello,

A failing hard drive could definitely cause that. I suggest you remove the failing drive and boot with the other. If you have a striped array (as opposed to a mirror), backup all the data to another drive, and do a clean install onto the good drive.

Okay. Thanks for the response!

I will try your suggestion. I ran a bootable test on my hard drive and it came up fine. So it's leading me to believe it could be some issue with the filesystem...

Symbiotech,

A system restore would not solve a physical hardware issue; it won't hurt to give it a try however.

What configuration of RAID are you running? Is it hardware or software?

 

[Symbiotech]

It is Software Configured RAID.

I'd say break the RAID for now; remove the drive it says is failing.
