I wish i knew what you were ranting about.
"I'm not sure you'll have to reinstall if you enter BIOS setup"

I am hardly ranting but giving you straightforward steps to proceed. If you want to work with me and focus on these steps then we can proceed.
You said that you have a RAID card installed which is providing both RAID and SATA controllers for your current install and data drives, correct?
But this card is apparently causing problems not allowing the HD to be seen from Repair CD without prompting for drivers, correct?
My suggestion is to enter BIOS setup to disable the RAID card, then re-enable the onboard storage controller to proceed with Repairs given.
If you don't have a storage controller on the mobo, or it doesn't work, or you are not sure how to do this, then ask back but don't refer to my plainly stated steps as ranting as you'll not last long here.
Good Si. Have been missing you around here!
What do you think is up here with his RAID card? Am I missing something?
No idea - the OP's posts are not clear to me.
If he can't get the repair disc to load - then just fix it from within windows by marking the current system partition inactive- then making his o/s drive system as well as boot.
I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH A THING IN MY PC.
All I want to do is unplug 2 hds and be happy.
Now your suggesting me to redo my whole sata setup. no thanks.
ALSO it doesn't even see my 2 storage drives when i do that. so either way i have to have some for of driver.
It's academic,anyhow.
The Op has completely misunderstood.
Huh?Code:Now your suggesting me to redo my whole sata setup. no thanks.
I think you want to help me, but your guys pcs are so new your not thinking back in the 90's tech.
Are you saying i don't need that system revere partition?
