ringfinger Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Are you sure you've slipstreamed the correct driver for you disks and mb? If its asking you for the driver just to get to the dual boot screen something is jacked obviously, have you tried reformatting all disks again and trying it?

jimcarmichael26 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 no - when i switch computer on without the slipstream disk- it says insert boot disk... if I disable cd in bios I just get a cursor... Then with the disk i get duel boot menu. Disconnecting old drive and leaving just raid= xp setup booting from cd detecting no winxp installationAnd yes - did put latest mb/raid drivers on disk...hmmm wierd problem....

cluberti Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 No, it's likely that the boot data was on the old hdd, and you formatted it away. Boot to the recovery console and run "fixmbr" and "fixboot", and reboot. Should resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcarmichael26 Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 tried that - but the winxp setup doesnt see the raid installation so i can load recovery console... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 If that's the case (and you may be right, it probably won't see it if you didn't install it to the hard disk), you'll have to do a repair installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
