The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Boot Disk Failure, Insert System Disk after Partition Magic 8 restart

Asked by mark876543 in General Computer Systems

Tags: disk, boot, partition

I have a new system with the C drive as SATA-II Raid-0. (2 drives) I used Partition Magic 8 to create a new partition E after C. I have done this before on a little bit older computer with SATA RAID-0 and I didn't have any trouble. But after I set up the task and PM restarted, it won't boot. In the tests before that I saw "Raid stripe Healthy". For some reason it's not booting from Windows. If I had to guess I'd guess PM is trying to run in dos, and dos won't see the raid drive. But if that is so then I'm wondering how my other raid system got partitions added without this trouble. I'm pretty sure I must have used PM for that one.

When I installed PM, I created the "rescue floppies". But trying to boot from the #1 floppy, it just remains at "Loading PC Dr Dos" or something.

I did make an Acronis True Image of the C drive yesterday, or I'd be looking at losing a LOT of software installation. As a last resort I'll try restoring that. But I'd really like to understand what's gone wrong.
