Ga-sinxp1394 Raid

Got a newish machine at work that has been running fine for about 6 months until last week when the system disc failed. Please ignore the system in my sig as that is my home one, the system in question is...

SINXP1394 (Obviously)
PIV 2.56B
2x256 Dual DDR
2x80Gb WD (RAID set to mirror)

I entered the RAID config utility and the thing will rebuild fine but still won't detect when booting. I have tried...

Start again with XP setup CD but can't detect HDD.
As above using F6 option to install drivers but not recognised from floppy
Try F6 Bios (still using now but could return to F5)
Try every Bios boot option known to man
Swear
Cry
Kick desk

Any ideas?

Can you get it to boot from a single IDE? With it set to boot IDE HDD in the BIOS.

not tried that yet, will try tommorrow. My brain has been that fried by this that I hadn't even thought of that! Cheers ;-)
