    Odd things here. I have a DFI Lanparty UT nf4 uultra D mobo. And 2 Seagate 320 GB Sata drives, and a 250 GB Western Digital hard drive. I use the WD digital and XXClone to back up my main drives, previously non in a RAID. But I decided to set up a RAID0, then it went to hell.

    I can no longer get windows to install, and nothing works. I POSt fine, and i have a healthy Nvidia RAID. windows will not boot off the CD, and I cannot boot off my formally good WD drive. I screwed somegthing up. Linux live cd will not work either, and I see no EIDE drive in the BIOS. What the heck did I mess up?

    I tried another CD drive, still nothing.

    Man, I messed that computer up! :D And installing winxp during a thunderstorm... not a real good idea, good thing I have a UPS! Looks like my backup WD hard drive bit the dust somehow, not sure about that one. Hitting a few snags here and there, but looks like winxp will be back up on the Seagate drive soon.

    Now I just have to remember my overclocked settings.
