Just a bit of backround:
1) I have a Compaq SR1010Z w/the Sis964 SATA chipset (supports RAID 0 and 1)
2) There are no BIOS utilities to create/delete raid partitions, as far as I know
3) I can boot off an IDE drive, with two SATA drives and create a RAID 0 partition with Sis' windows software (SiS Raid).
4) I can then remove that IDE drive, throw my WinXP cd in and install WinXP onto this partition.
5) After it formats/copies files, it wants to reboot. OK, no problem. But when it tries to boot I get the "NTLDR is Missing, Press Alt+Ctrl+Del to reboot."
I'm stumped...my BIOS doesn't have the option to boot from a RAID array, just individual drives. I'm not sure if this is causing it. But if WinXP install sees the drive, Windows sees the drive...I just don't know
Any ideas?
