SATA RAID BSOD

OK, my nav2004 was set to expire today so I bought NAV2006.. Installed
flawlessly, but after I boot , and 1-2 minutes after the desktop loads, the
computer BSOD's with a 0XD1 The file name is si3112r.sys which is the device
driver for my raid 1 configuration (2 maxtors in mirror cfg)

This is an endless cycle.. I have disabled NAV2006 and other programs but
it does not help.

The good news is the computer WILL boot into safe mode, but not into "full"
mode.

I'm thinking about updating the device driver that www.siliconimage.com has
on their site

Just wanted to get somebody else's opinion

Thanks!!
 
If you can boot into safe mode, then your mirror is 'intact' (see PS) and
the problem is caused by a driver/other device starting, that being the case
upgrading Sil driver may not cure anything.
Try msconfig.
Disable all non MS startups, reboot
If you can boot normally its a process of illimination

PS I had a lot of probs with a Sil mirror system, which manifested when I
installed NIS.
On bootup it showed mirror in synch, but because of odd probs I broke the
mirror and found that actually it wasnt in synch, certain apps & data were
on one disk but not the other.
A mirror is NOT an alternative for a backup

Hi, thanks for response.. When you say go into msconfig, should I look in
startup or services? I've had the computer for two years with no probs, but
this NAV2006 wrecking it bothers me

thanks again
 
Initially, Startups - disable all
Then test.
If it still wont boot, other than safe mode.
Then Startups - disable all + Services, hide all MS disable the rest.

My problem manifested/came to light when installing & running NIS 2005,
allthough when I finally broke the mirror the problem/fault had been there
for some time before.

Problems with NIS often require uninstalling it, from Add/Remove, then
downloading the 'completely remove utility' from Symantec, before attempting
to install it again.

That is why I stopped using Symantec. I purchased Symantec Anti virus
for handhelds and had Symantec System Works 2005 on my PC, I went to
install hand held version and it screwed up both 2005 and hand held.
Called Symantec and they couldn't get it working. I then used the
removal tool to remove all Symantec from PC and haven't looked back yet.
 
update on this::

OK, I apparently did not stop all services in msconfig when tshooting this
prob.. Computer is running fine now, but of course I have no AV protection.
So the prob is related to NAV2006 and I'll give Symantec a week to solve the
prob and if they can't I'll reverse credit charges I guess. I've seen posts
that uninstalling NAV is a problem

Thanks for responses all!!
