RAID Problem

[Zoinks]

I just did a fresh reinstall of XP on my RAID 0 SATA drives in an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe MB (NF4). Once I got all my software installed, I reinstalled my PATA RAID 1 drives I use for backup. Booted into windows and XP tries to detect the individual PATA drives. I reboot and check the BIOS - RAID is enabled and the mirrored drive is detected on the boot menu. I boot into windows and my RAID 0 drive with XP is now D, one of the PATA drives is now C and has the page file, and the other PATA drive is E. If I remove the PATA drive I can no longer boot into windows.

Any ideas how to get myself out of this one?

Correct me if I am wrong, but how did you expect to run raid0 on one set of drives and raid1 on a different set of drives with only a single raid controller?

The A8N has two RAID controllers, but I was running them both off the nvidia for the last year with no problems.

It seems I can't boot into windows because somehow my boot drive (the RAID 0 drive) was renamed from C to D. Getting rid of the RAID 1 backup drives does nothing to restore the drive letters. Booting obviously does not work right because the registry and everything else is looking for files on C and not D.

Is there any way I can boot into BartPE or something like that and rename the drive letters?
