Just an update. I know now that it was because I was trying to install from a thumb drive. My speculation is that, since I booted from a USB "drive" the install thought all drives would be connected to the same interface. Or something along those lines. I'm also guessing it's that in...

I tried it both from a DVD as well as bootable USB thumbdrive. Source folder was in the root and not under anything else. Still baffled by this one but like I said just glad it's working.

You can't boot from a RAID 0 but you can from a RAID 1. Additionally it has to use metadata v0.90 as opposed to 1.x, unless you use an initramfs/initrd as current kernels only support auto-detecting arrays on v0.90. I think you may also have to use Grub2 if you're not using metadata v0.90. I had...

Thank you. Didn't think it was possible given my searches but wanted to know if anyone had done it. Would my partition scheme described above work though, without putting Windows in an array? Linux Software RAID - /dev/sda&b1 = /boot RAID1 /dev/sda&b2 = / RAID0 /dev/sda&b3 = LVM2 RAID 0 (for...

Windows 7 can use software striping, it's not just limited to concatenated RAID or "RAID JBoD" or extending a logical volume across multiple physical drives. However, as I've been trying to convey in several posts, Windows doesn't appear to be able to setup the software RAID striping prior to...

Once again, I'm well aware that they can't share a common software RAID array and am NOT trying to accomplish such. Linux on it's own implementation of software RAID Windows on it's own implementation of software RAID Both on the same drive(s), just separate partitions. NOT Windows and Linux...

Yes, I'm aware that Windows won't run on a Linux software RAID array. I'm not trying to use Linux's software implementation for Windows. Linux would be on it's software RAID implementation and Windows would (if possible) be on it's version of software RAID. Perhaps I should have clarified a...

I've done some Google searching and so far I haven't been able to find an answer for exactly what I'm trying to do, and perhaps it's not possible, but hopefully someone here can help me answer that. There are plenty of guides on setting up a software RAID array once Windows 7 is installed, but...

Wow, I managed to peg it down to... Installation media. I had created a custom install disc and for whatever reason it simply doesn't work on this PC. It works on other computers fine, but for some odd reason it just won't on this one. Weird that you suggested it PreOmegaZero, as I had resolved...

Running the diskpart command, and not even doing anything to the drives, suddenly makes them visible and I can partition the disks and everything. HOWEVER, it still won't install as once I get through partitioning and it starts copying files it does the "Copying Windows Files" part really fast...

This is what I was originally thinking could have caused the problem. I'm using Gentoo, so nothing was automated. I did at one point format one (or maybe all can't remember :() of the drives using GPT, but all drives have been reverted to MSDOS partition tables. But I'm thinking maybe since GPT...

I feel like I've tried everything I can possibly think of here and I'm still left frustrated and confused. Problem is, simply put, Windows 7 refuses to install to any of my three HDDs. Upon first glance it looks like Windows just can't see/find the drive(s). As if it requires RAID drivers...

If you're on Vista/7 just right click your 'Documents' folder and go to properties, go to the location tab and specify where you want it. And yes, you can put Steam on the other drive, just specify the other drive when you install Steam. If Steam is already installed on the SSD you can reinstall...

Noone can help me out here?

Well it looks like putting the old processor in fixed nothing. WTF? MemTest shows no errors with the memory, obviously not the processor, switching to an old video card does nothing, tried putting OS on a different HDD, no change. So whats left? Bad mobo? Why would it ONLY do this after it goes...
