I have a m7700 that has been working good till now.I downloaded a program that had a trogen in it and before I could stop it it relay damaged my lappy. It has 2 160G HDs in Rad 0. It wont start windows,or even in safe mode.I have tried to reinstall windows XP and I get a blue screen after a wile that says windows has shut down to not damage computer. The windows disk also wont repair windows with the same end result. I have tried a different GPU,CPU and memory that I have (spare parts) . Any help would be great, thanks

Try turning RAID off in the bios, then try restoring it.
