xp pro freezes at the windows loading screen......on start up the raid disks says verify. i dont know how to verify them without windows. my question is, when it is trying to load windows, the hdd lights stay lit, and if i put my ear close i can hear them working. is it trying to do anything? or am i just wasting my time? ive waited 15mins so far, still doing it. ive tried safe mode but that freezes too. ive had this verify issue before, and was able to enter windows though. it took about 4hrs to verify. i was just wondering if i could let it sit overnight, or would that cause damage by having the hdds spin if its not actually doing anything usefull? i dont know much but the times before my pc would freeze by entering windows, the hdd light would go blank, giving the hint something bad happened and a reformat was needed.
