My SATA Nvidia controlled RAID array crashed and I am trying to do a restore from a Disaster Recovery CD (DR-CD). It had been booting fine from the SATA Raid1 array and I installed the IDE drive for a backup device and did a backup to it. After the SATA became unmirrored I screwed it up by going to BIOS and deleted it and the PC would not boot.
My DR-CD boots and does a temp install of XP but it sees the IDE drive as C: and the SATA Raid drive as D: and I installed XP to the D: partition. The problem comes when XP reboots, it does not boot from D: as I think it should but the C: IDE drive which has no boot files.
A long build up to a short question, how do I set up the BIOS to make the PC boot from the SATA RAID array and still be able to access the IDE drive? If I remove the IDE drive, everything works great and the PC boots from the temp XP and my backup software asks where the data file is located.
I have the Boot priority set to SATA as first and the IDE as 2nd, but if the IDE is installed it always tries to boot from the IDE. Is it possible to get this thing to boot from the SATA Raid array?
