Well I lost the RST set up after a failed F7 attempt to install BIOS 0063 ..... Arrg. Long Story
I had my system almost completely recovered to include the RAID-1 & SDD cache volumes, but when I was trying to change the mixed-up drive letters I obviously mistakenly selected <Make Active> in Drive Manager for the wrong volume. After the system failed to boot - I could tell what I did buy exploring Diskpart - my Win7 partition was no longer "C" The last drive letter I tried to change was now the "C" volume.
Original RAID-1 w/SDD RST config - SDD on SATA port 0 used to be Disk-0 and the two HDD on SATA 2 & 3 were Disk-1 with a System Reserve partition 100MB and then the "C" Win7 Boot partition 600GB.
After correcting active partition issue the only way I can boot with out a BootMGR missing error is with AHCI selected in the BIOS.
Also, when I select RAID <ctl-I> will not access the RAID BIOS BOOT screen and after the last BOOT splash screen the text will display a BootMGR is missing.
Now I have two 2TB hard drives Disk-0 and Disk-1 - that are identical
My system is now Disk-0 has a System Reserve partition 100MB and then the "C" Win7 Boot partition.
Don't you just love the PnP!!!
I tried loading the RST driver with the drives in AHCI and rebooting - That was a bad idea because I had to recover from the BSOD during boot.
I tried to recover the RAID boot by selecting RAID and then loading the RAID <iaStorAC.inf> driver in Windows repair utility but it did not work either.
Help!!
So before I crash the Win7 install I though I would ask for some help.
Does someone have a procedure that can recover my system boot with RAID selected.
Thanks.
