I just built my first computer and it has been up and running great for about three weeks. Then this morning I woke up and the boot screen just hangs and says "detecting array..."
I did not change any settings at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My mobo is a Epox 9NPA+Ultra. Thanks.

Dig out the manual and reset the CMOS. Follow the directions exactly as stated in the manual. I cannot stress this enough.

You may want to give everything inside a close visual inspection first. You may just have a cable unplugged or loose.

Thanks for the help, I tried resetting the cmos with the jumper settings and still the same problem. I am not even using SATA I am just using ide. This is weird.

check your boot priority in the bios, and if possible turn off the RAID funtionality on the mobo all together to eliminate this.

Thanks, my boot priority is HDD,HDD, CD-rom (I don't have a floppy drive). I will try removing the raid tonight.
