KT7Raid WZ Bios, not able to boot from array

:confused:

Here's one for you experts. I have an ABIT KT7-Raid, which was flashed with the WZ BIOS (and HPT drivers).

When it was all said and done, I could not make the array bootable.
Here's the interesting part. I have two Maxtor 20GB in the array and a Maxtor 60GB on one of the other controllers. I have the array as one partition, the 60GB is in four 15GB partitions. Used Partition Magic earlier...

The Drive letters are now C: (first 15GB partition on the 60), D: (the raid array), and E:, F:, and G: (the remaining partitions on the 60GB).

I think this is causing me probs trying to install Win2k, and an error I get trying to run PM now.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated...

Please clarify- When you say you can't make the array bootable do you mean that when you go into the Highpoint BIOS it won't recognize the array as bootable (you have to specify which drive is the boot drive), or the system will simply not boot off of the array drives? Have you specified all THREE boot devices as ATA100RAID in the BIOS advanced features section? Let me know .
