Would someone take a look at my boot config. and tell me what I doing wrong?

WINDOW [operating systems]
multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) WINDOWS = ” Microsoft Windows XP Professional 160 “/ fastdetect
multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (3) partition (1) WINDOWS =” Microsoft Windows XP Professional RAID “/ fastdetect

Why not just put the in as the boot drives, reinstall xp, use a driver disk to install with right drivers, and go along your way, reinstalling everything – would be far easier than trying to troubleshoot why a non-raid setup xp won't work when you ghost it to a raid setup.

Nahhh, I think I'll just try FIXBOOT from the XP install cd.

I think that will fix it.

Re:It says something to the effect of Drive 3 not bootable…

I'm sure it's just not set up right in the boot config. since it's a ghost image


Re:so what does it do why you try to boot?
