Hey guys,
Firstly I'll just say that I'm not entirely sure where the problem is with my system so if its not a storage problem then I would be happy to move myself to another part of the forums.
Anyway, I recently installed 2x OCZ Agility 3 60gb SSDs in RAID0 through a Skymaster PCI-e SATA III card. I booted up my computer from my old velociraptor and made sure that everything was fine: it was, both drives where appearing as one 111gb volume formated to NTFS: wonderful.
Now, the problem occured when I tried to install windows on that array, I unplugged all my other hdds (a habit since I accidentally formated a drive with 1.6TB of music last year TT) and I went ahead and installed windows, the array appeared in the installation and I got as far as having my computer restart for the first time, after restart my computer sat on a "Press any key to boot from CD....." message and did nothing.
So, I installed again. Same thing.
So I booted into windows with my old HDD and installed windows from a booted computer to my 2 SSDs and now I can get to a screen which offers me boot options of Windows 7, Windows 7 (Roll Back) and Windows 7. If I select the first windows 7 my screen goes black and my computer does nothing, if I select the second Windows 7 (NOT the roll back) my computer boots and I got an error the first time saying that windows could not be installed properly and stupidly I forgot to write this down and it doesn't appear anymore.
If it is relevent I am using a eVGA X58 Classified mother board, im not sure what BIOS version I am using but I have selected my RAID controller as my first boot device after CD Drive (The card, not the on board) and I have made sure that every setting I can see points towards booting properly but I simply cannot get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
