I have two disks on MIRROR RAID on an ABIT KR7A-RAID with the Highpoint controller.
I set both disks on the RAID and installed XP on them...5 gig partition and 95 gigs for the rest for applications.
It should be booting off of the raid controller....it does this just fine until I reboot a few times and have the hard drives sync'd. Then one random reboot and it will not come back up again, having an error message.
"The registry cannot load the hive (file):
\\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log or alternate
it is corrupt, absent, or not writable"
This message will go away and Windows XP will boot if I take both drives off the controller and put the first drive on the regular onboard controller.....it just won't let me mirror XP!!
