Hi.
Ive got a msi K8N Neo mo/bo 3200amd 64bit cpu with two SATA 160GB mator
drives. Win Xp pro .
I've just done a reformat just to tidy things up...start a fresh as it were.
Started to reinstall xp. it said do i want to install raid....i pressed F6.
when It asked for the floppy i put it in and it said " cannot find nvraid"
setup was aborted....The next time i tried i pushed F6 but this time it didnt
ask for the floppy. Windows loaded fine. But when i go to the bios to turn on
raid the pc says " NTLDR is missing....if i then set the boot up drive to the
SCSIO drive the pc just keeps restating after the raid window ( the F6 bit)
does anyone know how I can get the raid drivers into the pc so it works. I
have a floppy... I also tried going to Nvidia and geting a raid update...this
didnt seem to work...Do i need to reinstall XP? what about it saying cant
find nvraid file.
Many thanks for any help.
Phill
