I'm building a new system for work. It's going to act as a graphics software demonstration machine & a RIP station for large format printers.
Here's what I grabbed from newegg:
2 x 120gb 7200rpm samsung sata drives
1 gigabyte ga-k8n sli pro
1 athlon x2 4400+
4 x 1gb corsair value pc3200
1 x pci-e x300 128mb
1 x NEC DVD R/RW
1 x Antec 3800 w/ 400W Smart Power
I set the hard drives up in RAID 0, and installed windows xp pro. Everything was going fine (windows installed in under 10 minutes!!!!). After windows installed and rebooted, it got to the windows loading screen and rebooted. It now does this every time it reboots. It does the same thing if I try to boot into safe mode. I see the windows logo for a second, and then it reboots. I haven't been able to boot into windows yet. Any suggestions?
I've already tried pulling some of the ram, the burner, the floppy, disabling things like the sound & usb in the bios, and even flashed the bios to the latest version, but it still does the same dang thing.
I'm trying to install windows right now without a raid.
UPDATE: It works fine without the drives in raid 0.....
