Re: Unable to load RAID drivers while booting

Have you got the latest BIOS installed. You say the RAID is the only boot device. What about your DVD etc.? One check on where it is booting from is to put in the DVD, but when it says 'hit any key' , just let it boot thru and see what happens. That triggers a different boot process.

Hello,

The RAID settings in the HPT BIOS are correct, I can't find anything
strange about it... The array where Vista is installed
is also Bootable array and in the ASUS motherboard BIOS is selected
that the RocketRAID 2310 is the primary (and only) boot
device...

Some more ideas?

Thanks in advance!

No. I would double check the Raid settings in the BIOS and also make sure
the boot priority is set properly.
