OK...here is the deal. I was tinkering with overclocking on m7y xp 3000 64 system. I managed to crash windows so it wouldnt boot. Now it wont let me re-install windows. and when i hooked it up to my other system it wouldnt let me install the raid drivers to acess the drive..it told me access denied...Did installing sp2 screw me for good?

    is this a SATA drive or anything? Also if your old system wasn't set up with raid and this drive is set up to use a raid then you won't be able to access it from your old system it's effectively locked.

    On your new system what happens when you try and boot up? Do you get error messages or does it crash what happens?

    In any case it sounds like your drive may be pooched as far as salvaging anything off of it. You'll probably have to wipe the raid fdisk it and start over.
