What happens is that it get to the raid boot up and it goes straight to boot type choices. Such choices as Safe Mode, Command Mode, Boot Normally, Last Good Configuration, etc. And Of course i choose it to boot normally, but it doesnt boot. What happens is that it restarts and brings me back to the same prodecure. This is really driving me nuts. Can Someone help me please. Following are the configuration for my new system.
Asus P4P800 Deluxe
P4 3.4 ghz w/ 800 fsb
Kingston pc3200 DDR 400 2x512mb

Santa Cruz Turtle Beach Sound Card
Maxtor 7200 RPM w/ 8mb Cache 120 GB Hard Drive
CD-RW don't know
Thermal Take SubZero4G Heatsink
Thermal Take Xaser III Case
Should I change. add, or replace anything around to meet configuration needs
Umm, just a guess here, but are you trying to boot off a harddrive that already has windows installed (i.e. your hard drive from your old mobo) If so, you cannot do this usually. You will usually have to reformat and install windows from scratch.
Sorry if this is obvious to you but from your post I couldn't tell
You're right, I forgot about that. But you can also just repair the Windows installation. Select "Repair" the second time you have the option, not the first, or you'll end up in the recovery console, which doesn't do you any good. Repairing it leaves everything intact, just redetects your hardware, etc.
Yes thanks. I figured that out after i bought new ram to see if my ram was bad. But my ram is perfectly fine and now i have one more extra gig to add. Thanks for all you help
