Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Reboot and select proper Boot Device

brianosaur · 06-17-2005, 04:09 PM

My Pc WAS working fine. Yet I figured I would clear out all my clutter by reformatting and doing a clean XP install. Backed up onto a large storage drive and am trying to reinstall on a RAID 0 – which was working fine.

After reformatting the raid array I ran the 6 xp start up boot disks. At the first restart I get, “Reboot and select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key."

Now my P4c800e-del bios:
-boot only from the hd array. I disabled everything else in bios boot config.
-Bios detects the array.
-Bios IDE is set to "SATA as raid".
-Bios onboard Promise settings are the same as before I tried to reformat,
-I unplugged and replugged both SATA cables for the HDs.

What the heck is going on?
