Hey guys,
I have the asus P5ND2 SLI Deluxe mb
win xp pro sp2

i have 2 raptors at raid 0
i updated my bios to the new beta 905
i manually set my crucial ram to 3-3-3-12 like crucial says
at boot i got 2 long beeps - and then 2 loog beeps over and over


but this is my problem - i've already had to do this 1 other time

i had to clear cmos

i went into bios and enabled nvraid for sata 1 and sata 2

it boots up and the 138g raid drive is ok in stripe

but the boot loader or something is missing - win xp won't boot -

says ( disk boot failor - insert system disk and hit enter )


the last time i had to reset cmos- i had to reinstall xp cuz i don't know how to make it boot back now

can someone explain what i have to do?
3rd grade level plz :)

Sounds like you probably need to set the boot priority in your BIOS so that your primary HDD is set to boot, instead of another HDD. But, I might just be oversimplifying the problem.
 
i unplugged my extra 300g sata hdd on sata3 and it booted

i can't find nothing to make raid 0 the main boot though

i guess now i can hook my extra hdd up
