cant get into desktop get a black screen with a white moving arrow tha

sorry if it sounded like i was mad its just hard in forums when you go over the same steps over and over. I usually can fix almost anything myself but this had me stumped.

Don't worry, no offence taken.

In the absence of any other ideas I suppose we may have to consider whether there is a problem with your hard drive.

Have you been able to get into the BIOS to see if there is a problem with the boot order or the BIOS recognizing your hard drive?

yeah i went over that. its a server so its a complicated setup. I have 24 hdds in a norco case. i have an areca card controling 16 and another card with 4 and my mobo other 4. so i tried resetting cmos and then had to resetup the bios. I was just pressing esc and changing boot order to boot off usb for testing or picking my c: to run.

I did have an issue once with the ahci or whatever advanced setting in the motherboard. like where you pick sata or pata i set it sata only.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with a server setup.

I'll drop into the VIP thread and try and get you some more help.

I went over all the bios settings and its setup correctly.
same black screen white arrow.

I found something that says it can transfer your complete utorrent settings to another computer so ima try that. I have an extra drive so im sure i can do that easy enough

Other steps for when Windows 7 fails to boot

the raid config is fine. it reports the raid as healthy and the c: is not in the array or on any raid its connected to my motherboard.

ill try more passes.

i foudn a fix for utorrent so i might just do that

ill check out those other optiosn too.

OK. Do keep us posted as it'll be interesting to see what the problem was.
