Please help me!!!
I built my primary computer with a WD 80Gb harddrive and have XP Home and many applications and files on it, it is running on IDE channel #2. My motherboard is a Soyo ULTRA KT333. I copied the entire contents of the drive over to a WD 80Gb drive that is connected to the RAID controller as Master and everything worked great, AS LONG AS WD drive is active.
I wanted to Format the WD drive and use it to store MP3 files etc.. but I can't boot when I tried to disconnect it. I changed the Boot drive to the RAID drive and the RAID is active in the BIOS. Everything boots fine when both drives are connected but when I unplug the WD drive form the IDE controller Windows will begin to Boot anf then hang, instead of giving me the WELCOME screen, I get one that shows the Windows XP logo and it will sit there forever.
I booted to the Windows XP CD and tried a repair (FIXBOOT and FIXMBR) but that didn't change anything.
Can someone help?
