Thanks for the ideas and thanks for confirming what I already knew in the back of my mind.

It is total BS that installing drivers in the wrong "order" would make a system crash. I wish they would hire competent people over at Dell. They told me they would send another hard drive, but WTF am I supposed to do with the current one? Also I can't believe the raid array didn't work I specifically had it set up so that if something like this happened I could just use the other hard drive. Now nothing works and all I get is the BSOD over and over and over.

Should I be worried that the repair function from the xp cd would harm my computer? Or is this a safe method to try? Also since in theory only one of my mirrored drives is bad how can I get the other drive to be the bootup drive and just continue working with the one drive instead of the two mirrored drives. Thanks for all the help and input guys as it is much appreciated.
