I'm running Vista 64 on my primary drive, and I have a secondary RAID 0 volume that I use for apps. It's been working fine, but now when I have my secondary RAID 0 volume connected, I get an error when the OS tries to load that says "Winload.exe is missing or corrupt". It doesn't happen all of the time either, but when it does, I have to open the case and unplug the RAID drives to get the thing to boot up again. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas? :confused:
 
Happens when not overclocking too?

Run a repair windows install and see if that fixes the problem
 
This error drives me insane. It's not the first time its happened to me.
This time I swapped out a few HDD's on a client workstation and I can't find a way around it.

I can't use the recovery console, because placing the DVD in the system causes Vista to boot to desktop. It's the ONLY way it boots into desktop. :confused:

This is an upgrade DVD, which I think is why I can't. I've tried reinstalling over the current OS and that doesn't work either. :mad:

I'm doing this on an AMD X2 5000 black edition w/ 4gb pc6400 and 3 x 500 GB hdds which are 2 IDE and 1 sata.
