My system: Gigabyte EX58 UD3R, Win 7 64bit, with 1 Sandisk 128gb SSD, 2 WD 640gb drives in RAID1, and 1 Samsung 2TB disk. I was trying to clean up the system as I migrated my system disk to the SSD. After a fresh install on the SSD, I went to format and rebuild by RAID array because there is an old win7 install still on it. I rebuilt it using Intel's RST disk management tool from the new OS on the SSD. After restart, computer would give the "disk boot failure, insert system disk..." error after verifying DMI pool data.
The Serial ATA AHCI bios recognizes all the disks except the SSD, which only shows up transiently for some reason. But even if it doesn't show up, I could still choose to boot from it.
Prior to the incident, I would just be given a list of 4 windows 7 installations and choose which one to boot. 2 of those installations were operable, one on the 2tb drive and the brand new one on the SSD.
Now I can't even get that far, due to the boot disk failure message.
Changing the boot order or HD boot order doesn't help.
Tried using a Win7CD to repair an existing installation of windows, but it didn't recognize any existing windows installations.
So in short, it seems that after I deleted and rebuilt a RAID array using intel's windows software, NONE of my disks are being recognized as an OS disk, including the SSD and the 2TB disks, both of which have win7 installations on them.
I'm stuck! Appreciate any help.
