I use Norton Ghost to mirror my hard drives. So waht I used to do is use a floppy with Ms dos to boot into dos and start Ghost etc. But with a recent upgrade I no longer have a floopy so I made a floppy image and I am now booting off the CDROM,. Everything seems to be ok except one HUGE PROBLEM. When booting from the CD, it does not see my RAID 0 array drives. Just to make sure, I put the floppy back, sure enough, the raid is recognized again.

I am using a KT7A Raid board. Anyone have anyway to make booting off teh CD Recognize the Raid?

Umm... why exactly are you running Norton Ghost to mirror your hard drives when you could just run them in RAID 1?

does the floppy image you created loads the raid controller drivers? When the drivers load does it write something temporarily on the disk? If this is the case, then the problem when you boot from CD is that drivers cannot be loaded because it cannot write to CD.

I am using Raid 0 not Raid 1.

The Raid ) array is recognized when I boot fromt he Floppy. (Without loading ANY RAID DRIVERS) The Same image when put on a CD, while it boots fine. It doesn't recognize the Raid Disks....

That is my problem...
