I get "Error loading operating system" <br /> This was a windows system . and I didn't make it dual boot. Is the Mandriva having problesm with the drives being on the raid controller? <br /> Since they are both the same type of drive should I make them a raid? <br /> I put the HD drives on the raid controller to allow me to use the CDRW and the DVD and masters on the 2 main IDE channels. <br /> Thanks <br /> Dave http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3210#3210 Jazzydude43 Sun Jun 12, 2005 2:56 am http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3210#3210
