OK, so i finally got a couple OCZ 120GB SSD's to put in RAID0 for my boot drive and applications, and after a bit of difficulty with the RAID drivers, i finally got Win7 Home Premium to detect the array, got Windows installed, and i can get booted into Windows with no problem. and i have to say, i'm loving the ~23 second boot times (from POST to usable desktop, including RAID BIOS detection) and near-instantaneous application loading that i get from this setup.
however.....
i also have 2 standard platter drives for storage, a 1TB and a 2TB drive. i initially left those drives disconnected while setting up the RAID array and installing Windows to ensure that there were no mishaps resulting in lost data.
now, when i connect those drives so i can start using them again, my Windows installation will not boot, i get the "No system disk or disk error" message. also when these drives are connected, the RAID array has a hard time detecting the 2 SSD's in the first place, and it takes a few reboots for them to be detected....but even once they are both detected, Windows will still not boot and gives the "No system disk" error.
i originally had two 320GB platter drives set up in RAID1, and the SSD's are connected on the same ports (using the same exact cables) on the on-board SATA RAID controller that these original drives were connected on.
System setup is the same one as the "Main Rig" in my sig, except i have upgraded the video card to a Radeon HD 6870, added the Hitachi 2TB storage drive in addition to the 1TB WD drive, and removed the 2x 320GB WD drives in RAID1 for the 2 OCZ SSD's in RAID0.
one other thing to note is that i did originally have issues with the SSD's while my system was overclocked, so i set it back to default specs, and that seems to have cleared that issue up.
anyone have any ideas?
