Hi all!
I have a dual boot Vista/XP on a raid 0 2xST3500320AS. After using Gparted Vista booted well(after repairing), I used Vista Boot Pro for boot editing but when I tried to enter XP....well, it entered but stopped on the welcome blue screen that reads "Windows XP Profesional" and it stayed frozen with no hdd activity, just blocked. Every time I try to enter XP, it happens the same. I tried Recovery console with fixboot. I tried repairing the instalation and still nothing I didn't try fixmbr because I'm afraid of doing anything wrong.
PLS...anyone who could help me...
Thanks

Sounds to me like a bad driver. Try safe mode?

It does not even have the option with F8 so I press F8 in vain when I select XP in the boot menu.
Why a bad driver? It's worked fine for the last 6 months...abs. no problems...until using Gparted..

I do not want to reinstall Xp
It has worked for the last 6 month along with Vista until the GPartED crap....
Whay does it freeze on the welcome screen? What could stop it?
Is it the master boot record? Should I try fixmbr in recovery console?
I tried chkdsk /p /r, fixboot, repairing it...all to no avail...
