Hello, I had a PC with two 240GB disks made into RAID 1 array and a 2TB disk which is a non-RAID disk.
What I wanted to do is reinstall Windows 7. I put the installation cd into my drive, loaded drivers to see my RAID volume and proceeded with installation. It has succeeded, but has moved all data to Windows.old folder and when booting asked which system to boot (2x windows 7).
I tried then to install Win7 once again, but now with formating the partition. But when I clicked format during installation, and error occured (0x80070057) after mere second, so i doubt any data got removed. When I clicked Install Windows, the installation has cancelled due to error: Windows system cannot format partition on disk 1. An error occured while preparing partition chosen to installation with the same error code, and the installation cancels. Now the system does not boot at all (0xc000000f ,the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible). At startup the RAID configuration is ok, and when i try to install windows once again, i keep getting those errors. How could I install clean Win7 on my PC? Does destroying RAID array , installing Windows and then creating it again will help? Or if i format the partition from cmd (cmd -> clean) during Windows install will help? - how will it behave on RAID1?
