I recently purchased a new PSU. Upon hooking everything back up and starting my HTPC it would not load windows. It goes into the Startup Recovery Option but does not list an Operating System. I do not know which Drivers to select in order to go that route. I do not have a recovery disk with me. When I select Windows Repair from the new set of options it scans and says I do not have a hard drive.
My issue with that is when I go into ROM Utilities it shows all 4 of my hard drives as well as my DVD drive. I tried even putting back in my old PSU but receive the same messages. I know a little about computers but am at a loss here. I have cleaned out the inside of my HTPC Case, unplugged and plugged back in everything a few times but still can not get Windows to load.
I have been receiving during initial bootup when ROM Utilities is running both drives are flashing critical, however Windows would still load fine and everything worked. I have (4) 2TB HD's with RAID 5. One 'Drive' is set at 500G (My C:/ drive) and the rest (around 5.5TB) is my Media Drive. Please please please someone help me figure this one out.
