Need help with IDE RAID
Hello all,
I just purchased a HighPoint RocketRAID 404 card, and 2 new WD 120GB Special Edition HD's. I had a previous install of windows XP on a 20GB Maxtor drive. I created a disk image using Powerquest Drive image 2002 of the Maxtor drive. I then copied the image to the RAID1 array I created on the new WD drives. Now the problem. It won't boot. I set the right disk to boot in the RAID controller settings utility, and I set the BIOS on my motherboard to boot from a SCSI/IDE device. This setting worked fine with my old SCSI controller and disk, so I know it's right. The system attempts to boot. It shows the initial windows XP logo, but then the system auto restarts itself. Then the next time, it asks to start normally, safe mode, and all the other options. What is the problem? Do I have to do a clean install of XP on the RAID1 array, hit F6 when it asks, and install the RAID driver then? Or should the system be booting? The HighPoint manual doesn't say anything about having to do this. Thanks for any help, Nate |

Do a repair install, and hit f6 when it asks for drivers. It will repair the installation by adding the driver. You will also have to do the microsoft update again as some of them get overwritten by a repair install. |
