Windows won't load

HELP PLEASE!

Last night when I was connecting to the private CS:S server my machine locked up. I counldn't alt-tab out so I reset. Now when boot my machine it gets to the log in screen, flashes a blue screen error and reboots to do it all over again. I tried reloading Windows but get an error when I try to delete the partion. I'm running Windows XP Pro and a RAID array with stripping. The error is something about setupdd.sys.

Hmmm, tricky. You have the OS and the games on seperate partitions, right? If so, you can use a Knoppix disk to reformat that partition (QPArted, or cfdisk), and then reinstall XPpro.

You can do the same thing with Ultimate Boot Disk if you PHEAR teh Penguin.
