Windows Could Not Start Because the Following File Is Missing or
Corrupt: \Winnt\System32\Config\System.ced

I am thoroughly aware that the ced is an unerased part of the previous
message.

The problem is described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q269075&

The two hardrives are in RAID0, and have been scanned for bad sectors
both seperately and in the RAID configuration.

This is occuring a few days after a fresh install. It happend twice
already. The solutions in the knowledge base do not work, and fixing
it is beyond the ability of the owner of the computer. Even if it
werent, having a backup is pointless if it must be used every few
days.

The only thing the person installed after it was tested and rebooted
many times, is Soundforge XP5. The previous occurance, installing an
HP printer's software seemed to trigger the error.

Why does this happen?
How can it be prevented?
Would WindowsXP solve this?

Hardware:
Pentium4 3.0
ABIT P4P800 Deluxe
(2) 512 Corsair 3200 DDR
(2) Western Digital 80GB JB
Matrox Millenium 450 dual head
Audigy 2 Platinum Pro
USR Hardware Modem
Pinacle firewire card

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks a bunch in advance.
 
This has happened to me several times during a power loss
or when the operating system becomes inaccessable due to
errant program behavior that necessitates a shut down from
the surge protector. The absence of Windows normal shut
down would account for the corrupt files associated with
the synchronization, even when, as is my case here, that
the write cache has been enabled. Coincidentaly, my last
loss was during a USB device installation. Then again the
motherboard that my manufacturer sent me as a replacement
has enough wire on it to screen a window. There are only
two System.* files in the WINNT\system32 folder and I
believe the file in question is System.alt, however I'm at
a loss as to how to back it up if it needs to be updated
at every shut down. Or were you saying that the actual
file in question is a *.ced file?
