a7n8x boot problem upon restart
Hello !
I have a strange problem here : MB A7N8X Deluxe. 2 Maxtor HDDs on the SiI3112 controller, RAID0. The RAID array is the boot disk (there are no other disks except for a cd-rom drive). Everything went fine until I got some bad clusters on my RAID array. I had to open the PC and install a floppy drive in order to repair my installation (it went very fine). I then removed the floppy and restarted the PC. The problem the system will boot fine if I COLD boot the computer (after a power down, it boots just fine). If I warm boot the computer, whether restarting from Windows or pressing the "hard-reset" button, the boot process hangs after the POST. It checks for a bootable CD-ROM but it seems to be unable to find my bootable RAID array. After some time, I get a classic "BOOT DISK FAILURE" error. I tried to change my boot sequence and it did not help. I tried to reset my BIOS to factory defaults and it did not help either. Anybody has an idea of what's wrong here ? Thanks a lot ! Arnaud |
