blue screen when installing windows

tg900 · 12-17-2005, 04:55 AM

I am trying to run raid 0. I had two same hard drives, one broke, so i got it replaced with the same model and whatnot. Now, when I try to install windows with the array created and everything, it reboots after copying the files as usual, and goes to a blue screen instead of continuing to install. It says something like "windows has found an error that could damage your system, so it will shut down" and "critical error." I installed windows on a normal non-raid IDE channel, and it works fine. I tried installing windows on a single hard drive on the raid channel to be a single drive, and i still got the same error. It is a gigabyte k8ns-pro, and it has raid built into the motherboard. It seems to me it might be the raid feature of the motherboard that isnt working right, but to do an RMA, i'd have to take off everything, send it back , put new thermal paste on, etc. Does anyone else have any other ideas of what it could be?

A driver problem, possibly?

umm, raid 0 is data striping, so if one disk goes bad, you lose everything....format and start from scratch

Haha i love how RAID0 does that

Yeah you'll also have to recreate the RAID array too
