Whats up gentlemen. Havent been paying too much attention to PC hardware
so not sure whats up to date for this config. I am looking at making a
system to do video editing. Not too serious into it so I don't wanna
break the bank to do it. But What I would like to do is have a solution
that is good
I'm trying to ghost my system from the current SATA drive to a PATA drive
(I'm moving the SATA elsewhere.) It clones fine, but when I boot XP Pro,
it restarts (even in safe mode) during the Windows boot up. Surely I can
get the thing to boot from a PATA even with SATA drivers installed -
Dear Hardware Gurus,
This morning I was burning a DVD when the computer started beeping. I checked temps and fans, and all seemed within reasonable ranges. The system then shut down and re-booted. Everything "seemed" fine until I received the error message "NTLDR is missing. Press

Could be that the boot files have been deleted. Boot with an XP CD and see

Sorry but Jim stated that he could NOT boot from a CDrom drive at all.

Part or my problem is I can no longer boot from the CDROM. I can boot to a floppy, but that gets me no where! No NTFS access. No SATA access. No RAID access.

Will FDISK see the drive?

Kind of hard to do since he said he can't boot from a CD :)
I have this sinking feeling that your motherboard may have taken a
dump,

Nevermind, fdisk won't do the SATA thing. Do you have a recent Ghost, just
to see if
The strangeness continues. If I boot to the floppy and type FDISK, the screen displays the message for large disk support, I answer y andthen itjust returns to the A: prompt!?
This is really strange because I can see the 2 normal IDE disks in the BIOS, GHOST and Partition Magic. This is a

Further strangeness -- I can boot to a floppy and then access the CDROM.
But I cannot get it to boot from the CD. The BIOS boot sequence seems to
see the two RAIDs. The SATA RAID set up says the disks are okay. I have
not been able to find a
boot to the SATA controller and update the IDE controller
drivers back to standard, may re detect and boot.
FWIW I have had good luck going PATA to SATA but not in the other
direction for some weird reason ( XP ? )

The SATA RAID is an Sil 3112A and the IDE is a GigaRaid ITE (not sure of the number right now). It is an nVidia based Gigabyte board, GA-7NNXP. I tried booting from an external USB drive and got the same reaction as the CDROM. It ignores the BIOS setting and tries to boot from the floppy. I
