I run the following system:
- Upgrading to Vista 64bit - have Vista 32bit on 250Gb disk
- Q6600 B3 @ 2.4GHz
- 4x 1Gb Geil Black Dragon PC8500
- 4x Spinpoint F1 500Gb (RAID 0) - new, currently blank
- 1x 7200.10 250Gb
- ATi 4870
Tried to install Vista 64 on RAID, with 250Gb drive disconnected.
Installed from DVD and partitioned RAID array, as follows:
1. 300Gb - Intended for Vista + Programs
2. 10Gb - Swap file
3. ~1.6Tb - All other data
(All set as primary partitions during Vista install)
Accidentally installed Vista 64bit onto 1.6Tb partition.
On boot (250Gb still disconnected) would not boot, with "Error 17":
acpi vistaloader 2.1.2
find --set -root /bootmgr
Error 17: file not found
fallback XP/windows 2000/NT
find --set -root /ntldr
error 17: file not found.
On reboot to origonal 32bit Vista, the RAID 0 array is seen with partitions and Vista 64bit files, including file "missing" bootmgr in correct location.
Can also read and write to the array impling that hardware is ok.
Array drivers were not specifically installed at any stage. Drives are setup using motherboard SATA Intel RAID controller.
RAID array drives are not visible in the standard bios, are visible in RAID bios - as expected.
It does not seem possible to specify a boot partition.
I have seen the "Error 17" problem raised in various forms but no resolution.
What do I need to do to get Vista 64bit to boot from the RAID 0 array?
