I completed a clean install of XP Home Edition on a new system last week. I uploaded all Service Packs and then supporting software for the new hardware. I updated all drivers and software. Once all that was complete I noticed a problem with Control Panel (CP). When I open the (CP) through...

I installed a new motherboard and processor. Put the ASUS MB CD in and did the recommended install. It installed the raid driver, or is trying to, but I have a problem. When it boots, it trys to create a Floppy Driver disk on Drive A: I dont' have a drive A: and it wont reboot past this...

Yeah, I have read pages 5-44 thru 5-52 over and over. :) Nothing changes no matter how many times I read them. I followed the link and it seems this is a reoccuring problem with this utility. I saved the link and will give the whole process a shot tomorrow when I am more awake. Thanks for...

The MB is a M3a78-T with a Phenom 9950 Quad core. I am running two Western Digital 500GB sata drives for the raid 1. I have a Sapphire 4850 1GB, and 4MB of RAM. I went into the BIOS and turned the raid off and put it on AHCI (I think that was the acronym) and the critical error went away...

The raid array was originally built/installed during installation of Vista. All I want to do is image the replacement hard drive. My earlier statement was incorrect. The raid was installed and built during Vista install.

I am not sure exactly what you mean. The raid was installed during the installation of Vista. So the raid drivers were inplace as Vista was installing. As far as rebuilding the array.....? I have no idea.

I am mostly answering this thread because it may help someone in the future. I have another thread for rebuilding the array since the RMA is already complete and I have the new drive. I know which disk was good (the one the system has been booting from). I just don't know how to rebuild the...

Okay, I went into the, Option ROM Utility 2008 AMD, and it has four options. View Drive assignment (only views), Define LD (cant change anything but can add another raid), delete LD (deletes data on drive), controller Config (shows config but can't change anything). I cant find anything else...

The array was already working for three weeks....or more. The critical error comes during the raid functional message. What I did was unplug one HD and try a reboot. The system booted with critical error. Then I plugged that one and unplugged the other. No boot at all. No recognision. I...

I have a Raid 1 Array with two Western Digital 500GB hard drives. One of the hard drives crashed. I unplugged each on in turn to determine which Hard Drive crashed. Now I have the replacement hard drive. I installed it and was hoping the system would automatically rebuild the array. No...

The raid was built after Vista install. It originally booted with no problems evident. That lasted for about 3 weeks. Then the critical error for Raid 1 started showing up. This is a newly built system. The only thing reused was the case and DVD. Everything else is 6 weeks old....if that...

Does anyone know how to check which drive is the one that is not booting up?

I have two western digital 500GB hard drives set up in a raid 1. When I rebooted my computer after installing some windows updates I got a critical error message before windows booted and right after the ASUS MB splash screen. Then it said there was a problem with the raid 1 setup. It then...
