RAID Issue

[Nihsnek]

Hi,

Well, my computer has been down for a month now, and I can't get it to work. My motherboard died and I replaced it with a new one, different model though. After figuring out the raid controller drivers were different, I returned it and bought the exact same one I had before, ASUS A8N-E. It works fine, except I can't get my RAID setup correctly.

Since it's the exact same model board I was using before, the raid controller drivers should be the same or very close, but I still get a "hard disk error: insert system disk" warning when it tries to boot into the drives.

I have 2, 300gb drives, running RAID striped so they can act as one large 600gb drive.

What in the world could be the problem? I've tried using different SATA ports, SATA cords, configurations, resetting CMOS, rebuilding RAID, etc.

So the RAID BIOS detects the member disks? Have you tried a repair installation?

raid 0 is unrelaible. i was overclocking my pc, it crashed good bye data. boot into the rado bios. i press like ctrl+l or something on mine when the computer boots up and it will tell u if there both still member disks and if the raid is working.

I've been running RAID0 for at least 5yrs now, and its worked great. I always use onboard ICH7R/8R/9R and haven't had any major issues. I also had an array on my NForce4Ultra board, and that failed once in 4 years (failed in yr2). I have a good backup solution, so a quick re-image and I was up and running in an hour -- no important data on my RAID0 arrays, so I don't mind if they go down.
