guys, i'm running a Raid-0 setup on my dfi ultra-d and up till now, everything was working great. about twenty minutes ago, my computer crashed and now i am unable to boot back in. i can always turn on the comptuer and it gets past the POST screen but stops immediately after "Backup CMOS...OK!" or "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." the only times i got past that, i got the error as follows:
NTLDR: couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)

i decided to try my backup drive (i only made a bootable backup of C: from my raid-0 drives) but ended up with the message "couldn't find file root>syhstem32>hal.dll"
i suspect that the backup drive was copied incorrectly and can't be used as a bootable disk. as for the other error, i am lost. i've tried messing around with my OC, dropping it back to stock, undervolting but i'm lost. if you guys could help, that would be great.
 
update::
success! it seems that my computer is scared of me posting a thread with my laptop as i am now able to get into windows. however, i'm still a bit scared of this happening again. if you guys could post your thoughts, that would be great.
btw, when the problem was still happening, i could not even get to the Windows screen wehre it has the logo and the loading bar. just more information

thanks
