Boot config:
3x 36.7GB Raptors on 1,2 & 3 of the NV SATA Controller, configured as a single RAID 0 volume.
2x DVDRW's (master/slave) on Primary IDE controller, 1x 200GB and 1x160GB (master/slave) storage drives on the Secondary IDE.
1st boot device = LiteOn DVDRW
2nd boot device = NV Raid Volume
Problem:
System boots up and runs fine as long as the XP PRO SP2 CD is in the LiteOne DVD drive. Remove the CD and the system cannot find a valid bootable partition.
Change the 1st boot device to the NV Raid and you get the same boot error.
Comment:
I am not sure why the system wants that XP CD to be in the drive whenever the system boots. I have had this problem before with a Gigabyte 8IK1100 board but am unsure as to how I fixed it, it just started working one day. lol
I have tried various changes to the boot.ini but can't seem to correct the issue. I also had the same exact problem with XP 64-bit and the 2 other XP Pro installs on the same setup.
Anyone have any ideas?
