Well now I can't install Windows on a hard drive. I removed the drives from the array, and set the SATA mode back to IDE. I also fixed the boot order as well as the order of the hard drives. Vista sees only one hard drive, but the BIOS sees both drives. (they are on ports 3 and 4) I tried to install on that one hard drive but Windows said that it couldn't install on that drive. I also tried the AHCI mode, but I got a similar error. I reset the BIOS but still no luck. I can't seem to know what the problem is.
Does the drive have an "active" partition? I fought that battle when I installed Vista. It will give you that error even though it see's the partition.
