PC hangs at Raid configuration during boot
Like the title says, my PC hangs during boot just after the Press F10 to
enter to enter Raid setup message. Once the system warms up I can reboot and get into Windows without problems. I assume this is likely a HD problem with one of my RAID devices? Maybe a corrupt BIOS? Any ideas? |

Did you do anything to this system hardware or BIOS settings-wise prior to this or was it working normally What m/b? What revision? What BIOS? What type of RAID controller? Configured how? What type of drives? Does the RAID array show as being healthy when you hit F10? What do you mean it boots normally "once the system warms up "? How do you get it to boot if it hangs? Highly doubtful it's a BIOS problem. But you need to supply way more info for any meaningful advice.... |

One or more of you HDs may be slow to spin up and may not be upto speed when the RAID BIOS kicks in. If when it says RAID is broken and you hit restart and it works the I would say the slow HD spin up is the problem. Some BIOS's have a boot delay option to allow for slow HDs to come up to speed. |

Yeah, that's what I think, but it takes a LONG time to warm up; sometimes one to two minutes. I ran SeaTools on both drives and the one drive fails, so I'm going to send it off to Seagate when I get some packing for it. |
