So I run Disk Wizard, and after that I get an error on start up, saying that NTLDR is missing?? Any clues? It still wont boot off the CD if the SATA - RAID settings are disabled, but of course won't recognise the HDD if they are not disabled! Ahh I love Catch 22 situations like this one.

SH*T!! I have followed the advice from your thread (thanks for that by the way) but now I get a stupid error message - NTLDR missing, after formatting and setting up my HDD with Disk Wizard, and windows doesn't want to boot, it seems to try and boot off the HDD before the CD, even though the...

Yeah ok I tried to set up my computer and no luck, I just get a windows error if I disable SATA RAID, I can't even boot off the XP CD, it skips straight to an error screen saying that there is some sort of hardware error, and one must refer to the manuals to get it sorted. Needles to say there...

HI, I have the same problem, I just set up my system, and I install XP (home) with several of the drivers i got on a cd with my mobo ( Sil3112, 3114, 3114r,3114r5,3112r). I continue on to format the drive,install on to the HDD, then reboot. The system does not boot from the HDD, and when I put...
