Re: Operating System Not Found - on boot! Help!

Make sure your BIOS is trying to boot off the correct drive. Sometimes this
gets reset.

Operating System Not Found - I get this message when booting up my SBS
2003
server. How can i fix this?
I am running a hardware based raid solution and the RAID is healthy. I
have
tried using recovery console bootcfg, fixboot and fixmbr, but the problem
still persists. I have also tried to do a Repair installation using the
SBS
2003 DVD. After it copies the installation files locally and restarts, I
get
the same message. The BIOS can detect the RAID Disk and is set to boot
from
it.

I also tried using diskpart to see if the correct partition is marked
active. However, it doesn't give any information on which partitions are
active or not and it doesn't give me an option to make a partition active.

This is leaving me scratching my head.

Any ideas or suggestions would be great!
