OK,
I have this wonderful new system running a RAID 1 Vista x64 and then I go into the BIOS and choose "Load Optimized" because it was running the Q6600 @ 2.13 GHz and the optimize put her to 2.4.
Little did I know loading the optimized Disabled the RAID setup.
So I do an F10 and yes and walk away. I come back to this grinding away of my PC configuring it's self to non raid, loading all kinds of hardware drivers in the form of ATA and such.
Lordy I'm no longer RAID. Now the fun begins as I go back and reload the RAID and now have a corrupted boot.
I make it back into Ctrl-I and fiddle around and get the RAID state to recognize it's self and become into a "Rebuild" Status.
Great!
Now I get two options at boot. I lost my memory but it's two duplicate lines saying something to the effect "Recovered Windows".
I am to choose the one I want.
If I choose the top one I get nothing but the prompt to boot from the DVD and repair. It fails. If I do nothing it times out and loops.
If I choose the lower one it boots fine.
I take it it's looking at both drives being RAID 1 and one of them had a bad boot file.
What do you guys think I can do to correct?
