Booting Up Problems

[Rabbi]

I had to reinstall windows 2000 and the installation went smoothly, the first couple of times the machine had to reboot everything was okay.

Now when the machine boots up it gets to the splash screen, which says Windows 2000 starting up - the blue bar gets half way up and then stops for about five minutes, after that it goes to the top and the machine continues booting. After getting into Windows 2K I looked at the event viewer under administrator tools and it shows all these errors that are occuring at the same time that the machine stops working, it says:
1) An error was detected on \Device\harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation then after it comes:
2) The device, \Device\SCSI\HPT3xxNT1, did not respond within the timeout period
These errors appear one after another until the machine continues booting
This is a clean install with only device drivers for my cards and SP1 loaded.

Specs are:
AMD 1.2ghz Thunderbird
Abit KT7A-RAID Bios 3C
256 PC133 RAM
Creative GeForce 2 MX - Nvidia Drivers 12.90
Pinnicle Studio PCTV Rave
D-Link 10/100 Network Card
Santa Cruz Turtle Beach Sound card
Seagate 20.6GB Ultra 66 on Highpoint Controller
Seagate 8.6GB Ultra 33 on IDE 1
Creative DVD Drive on IDE 2 - Master
Mitsumi CD-RW on IDE 2 - Slave

I have updated the Windows highpoint drivers to latest ones also.

Do you have the Via 4 in 1 drivers installed? If so have you got the latest version? HTH

Check the hard drive on the RAID controller for failure using the Seagate drive fitness program, it's a possible cause of that message.

I have 4 in 1 4.32 installed

I downloaded Seagate Seatools and it passed the drive, yet to do the full diagostic though, could it be that the hard drive is on the way out!!!
