Did you forget to load the RAID/AHCI device drivers
using the F6 option?

Try enabling RAID mode + RAID Option ROM in the BIOS
and then boot into the Option ROM to re-initialize your RAID 0.

Then, double-check the Boot Priority to make sure that
the BIOS recognizes that RAID 0 array as a discrete "device".


If your system cannot find the RAID device drivers on your
hard disk subsystem, you'll need to provide those drivers
via F6 + a floppy disk.

To my knowledge, the XP installation disc is hard-coded
to expect those device drivers to be on a floppy disk.


(Hope this helps

Thanks for your advice MRFS! I did quite a number of things to fix it.

1. i had to delete all the MBR and partition information on the drive the bios would freeze on in non RAID mode.

2. I had to a failed raid array so then i went into the RAID bios and deleted the other drives RAID info and then created a new RAID array using the exact same information

3. when i rebooted i didn;t touch the drive except to initialize using MBR.

4. I used a deep scanner for the entire drive and sorted the partitions that i could see files and folders. (this took 10 hours) (Active@)

5. using power recovery partition i am copying my files now.
