Booted the first time - but never again
Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2011 9:31 am
Hello,
I booted - entered Parted Magic.
I was look to see if I could initialize two new hard disks.
I did partition them as DOS partitions in Parted Magic.
I exited Parted Magic - with SHUT DOWN.
When I rebooted - I have a '_' flashing about three lines down from the top of the screen.
Back Ground:
This is a new system that has no operating system on it.
The two drives have been set in the BIOS for RAID 0.
Windows 7 would stop during installation with a message - insert floppy-disk/USB with the CD/DVD drivers.
Strange, since the sata DVD/CD is the drive I was using to install Windows 7 in the first place.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
B.
Update:
Changed the boot order in the BIOS - everything is working again.
It was hanging on the RAID drives.
