So apparently I'm getting a missing/corrupt file for hal.dll. I tried using the win recovery console, but it doesn't recognize my raid 0 set up. I already have WinXP home on my regular 160GB hdd, and that boots fine, but I select it as windows boots up, when windows loads, the raid array isn't there and i go to boot.ini and it says invalid path when I check paths for OS's.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer

is what I currently have it set up as.

SATA-0
SATA-1

are both on RAID while 2 is my 2nd OS and 3 is data.

Anyway to fix this problem?

I mentioned it already, the steps they provide are the ones I already have tried, it's different with a raid system than just a regular hard drive.
