I have had XP Pro SP2 running on one computer for a little over a year.
About
2-months ago I stared getting spy ware infections. 4-times I spent hours
on
the phone with the folks in India.

Intel SE7505VB2
(2) Xeon 2.80 HD's - SATA RAID 1
XP SP2
McAfee
Ad Aware
Spy Bot
Zone Alarm

Today, everything was fine until I turned off my computer to go have
dinner
and when I returned the computer would only start in safe mode. Any
attempt
to start in normal mode would just cause the computer to restart.

Called MS Tech Support - they had me disconnect one drive and try to
restart
the computer - not a good idea! Short story, now I can not get the
computer
to boot even to safe mode - I guess thanks to Bill Gates, I'm screwed.

I guess I have to order a new XP SP2 CD, since I have my original XP CD
and
someone said don't even try connecting to the internet until you get SP2
and
all your security software installed on your new HD. Of course all my
security software is on the RAID drives.

So, here is the question: Once I get the system running, or how should I
get
the system running, so I can connect and copy data from the old RAID
drives?

I sure hope someone can help.
