Well I found the problem after switching drives around a few times.

I have 3 hard drives installed:
2 x 60GB Maxtor
1 x 10GB Maxtor

When I have my 2nd Maxtor HD installed ANYWHERE on my hard drive...RAID port, IDE 1 or 2...my system will hang after the Windows XP Logo and will never boot up!

I disconnect that drive and all is well. Strange problem if you ask me, I guess my drive is dying/dead?

I'll have to work on getting my files off of that drive later...I have over 40GB of files there, including 6,000 mp3's and 20GB of applications...including the Lego game my son wants to play.

Wish me luck!
