P6T "operating system not found" on raid 5
How does one describe the predicament of needing to restore functionality to a mobo that was the victim of the embarrassing act of having "Restore Defaults" performed on it without realizing that it would also restore the Boot settings?
I DONT WANT TO RISK LOSING ALL MY DATA BY SETTING UP THE RAID 5 IN THE BIOS LIKE IT WAS BEFORE! (right?) I posted this in the Windows 7 category because I had a hunch that I will turning to my install disc for the answer. BTW, everything on the four drives should be as fully functional as before. Here's my hardware:
i7 920 6GB-OCZ-mem Megalehelms and a pair of EVGA Geforce 275GTXs on a ASUS P6T mobo along with (4) 500GB Samsung Spinpoint HDs in a RAID 5 config running 64 bit Windows 7.
It seems like it would require the same procedure as replacing the mobo, which I recall is a scenario that RAID 5 accomodates easily. If this is right, I think it might call for an installation of the OS that would preserve the user's apps and files.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
