RAID0 install on reboot cannot find boot disk

Post by Keith07 »

Hi all,

I have a vista ultimate 32bit RAID 0 PC:

2 x 150GB Raptors (RAID 0)
Seagate 500GB SATA disk
ASUS Striker Extreme Motherboard

I had problems with Vista so wanted to rebuild, on booting from the Vista CD it sees the RAID 0 disks as around 280GB and I installed the nVida RAID controller, Windows installs fine reboots during installation no problem.

When first into the system I look at the disk configuration and it sees the RAID 0 as the bootable and the 500GB as Active, as soon as I reboot the PC it comes up saying Disk Failure Insert System Disk, I have not changed any of the BIOS or RAID configuration, yet it still doesnt boot. I have reinstalled 2 times and each time I get this message, I assume something to do with the boot partitions?

I am really confused why it is doing this am I missing something very simple?

Any help appreciated.
