More health problems stopped me from continuing here until now. I was able to find the HD I used to clone the one now giving me trouble so its format time for the problem hd and then copy over from the one I just found. I needed to copy It over before It wore out back when. It still had one more...

I have the CD that sets up the RAID array - I used it to make the F6 boot floppy that has the files (two .exe files) needed to get XP to see the HD. I followed the instructions in the Asus gide book to create this floppy. I do not know if this created floppy has "all disk" you mentioned. If it...

I guess you missed my last 2 ago or so posts. I did find instructions to make the F6 floppy in my mother board instruction book. I was not sure of how to respond to the xp cd boot up cause i wanted to use F6 as well as, I believe F2 - to repair my OS. I will have to go try one at a time rather...

Ok. I only thought it possible because the artcle, location posted under the video, mentioned that SATA could be pinned so it looked like an IDE but did not show how. Thats why I asked.. The writer was very knowledgeable and supplied an abundance of info. If after reading my last post as to when...

I would agree with you if not for the fact that all was working fine until I ran one of those ASC maintenance programs. After it was done I noticed things like, my recycle bin was loaded with 84 files and they were frozen there, couldn't be restored, copied, deleted or anything else. My START...

I am back but not with celibratory sentences of solution. Although I wss busy with the eye doctor and work and etc., I did put in much time last night and early this morning try a fix. I made a boot floppy for F6 as described in my Asus mobo book to handle the Raid array. I also viewed and...

Back at the ranch. Yes I am having problems focusing also headaches no doubt from that as well as nerve piches in neck vertebrae (C drive/spine) that are being treated often with epidural, nerve blocks and radio eblasion.. Tomorrow I go for my eye exam and first pair of specs in my life - its...

I have already viewed this video some time ago in my quest to fix things. The first instruction written in red on a blue screen was difficult for me to see it also didn't stay visible long enough for me to read it. The rest of the video was quite long providing some nice relaxing music. I...

Asus KV78? not at home now so not sure of exact model # but it is close. I can supply that later if needed. During computer boot up I entered the RAID array by hitting "tab". There I had 5 choices, one was to delete RAID array, One was to put it back automatically. Can't remember the other three...

I still cannot figure how my HD is booting up and I can use certain programs but the bios doesn't recognize my SATA HD. I checked the connection from the HD to the motherboard and all is good there. I even deleted the RAID array but that left me in the dark...windows did not boot up. I...

Thanks again. It is an older Asus MB with a CD setup disk for RAID 0, 1. I had a Dos boot disk for windows but need to make a new one cause its lost. Can you explain how I can make a new Dos boot disk for WinXP Pro perhaps using the Win XP Pro installation CD. Maybe there is an easier way to...

TerryLaze thanks for your reply. Perhaps I should write down exactly what I did so there is no misunderstanding. I needed to restore my xp os without losing any data. I set firing order in the bios to have my system boot up from the CD drive. I had my win xp installation CD in that drive...

I noticed a 2007 post advising a floppy boot for F6 in the repair (Xp CD boot..R.. Not recognizing HD) probably due to RAID array interference. Exactly what is on the floppy boot to satisfy F6 and exactly, step by step how do you make this floppy. Is it from the XP installation CD or from the...
