RAID migration "ToddLC" <toddlc[ at ]yahoo.com> 6/22/2007 9:18:08 AM I would like to migrate my system from one SATA disk to a RAID 5 array of three disks. Unfortunately, however, in the BIOS, prior to installing the OS, Vista x64 Home Premium, I left the SATA Mode at IDE, the defulat setting. Now, when I change the SATA Mode to RAID as is required to setup a RAID array, I cannot successfully load Vista. It dies with a BSOD. Evidently, it notices the change and not having the proper driver it is unable to boot. Does anyone know of a way to load the appropriate RAID driver so that the OS is happy? If this is not possible, the only solution I can think of is to make the BIOS change and then reinstall Vista. This, of course, is a pain, which I would like to avoid if at all possible. -Todd
