Hi !
My System: MB P2B-DS bios 1013 003, 2xPIII 600MHz, 3x128 MB SDRAM, Video nVidia GF2 MX400 with 64MB RAM, NIC - RTL8139 chip, CM sound PCI card, 9GB SCSI WD on mainboard SCSI controler and 80GB IDE HDD Maxtor DaimondMax with 8MB cache on PCI ATA133 IDE RAIDE controler IT8212.
OS: win 2000 professional SP4 on IDE disk
Everything work fine and fast, but after add IDE RAID controler - PROBLEM. Pperiodically (after 5-30 reboot) after normal shutdown windows (when boo
t)say: ..SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM or ..SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE missing or corrupt - this is registry.
I thing - when windows shutdown machine data in cache in IDE disk or IDE RAID controler not saved properly.
Or this is ACPI problem.
Or windows fix need ?
Or need service to delay shutdown process ?
HELP me !!!

Do you have multiple partitions on the scsi drive?

No. SCSI disk is not formated - for future use (linux)

and if you remove the scsi drive do you still get the error?

First thing that stands out is you have a path problem and that is why the files are not found. For example lets say you have two partitions on the ide disk and the 2nd partition is where the OS resides. This is d:. If you add a drive with a primary partition the rule is the first drive letter is assigned the first drives primary partition and the next drive letter [in this case d:] is assigned to the 2nd drives primary partition.

So now the OS drive is really E: but the registry pointers are to d:. See where this could be a problem?

But with a raw scsi drive this should not be a problem.

I would suspect a problem with the ide raid controller. Possible irq/io address conflict. See if you need a bios update.
