ok here we go on my wifes machine i have the following issues and hardware
i turn the machine on and it starts the boot cycle then after it detects the raid controller it just reboots or just stalls at a blank screen it doesnt reboot at all. This started by her removing a hard drive for a friend to use but ended up not needing it so she put it back in and she turned it on and got cpu unworkable code she turned it off and waited for me to get home. I arrived at home turned the computer on and got the same code so i hit F1 and fixed the settings rebooted and got checksum error defaults loaded so i turned the computer off manually reset cmos with the jumper turned it back on fixed all the settings and the checksum error went away. That is when i started getting the problem of no boot after raid detection problem. So i removed the non essential hardware put one stick of ram in took off the cpu fan and the cpu to check for problems re applied paste and put the fan back on and plugged it in like im supposed to, I still got the problem so i swapped memory and tried again and once again no go. I really dont know what the issue is with this machine i need help if you can.

XP 1600+
512 Megs DDR
