Alright, my buddy was having problems with his computer and just wanted it to be completely formatted. I agreed and I have formatted his drives. The problem is he has a raid card with two hard drives connected. The card is in one of the PCI slots and the hard drives are connected to there. I've never come across a Raid that was not contained directly on the motherboard but figured it was just as simple. (I've built just three computer's in my life and worked on slightly a few more) Just to note his motherboard doesn't have any IDE connectors, or I would have just connected a hard drive to there. When I go to install windows on his machine it will install fine and it will show up as installed if I try to re-install over a previous install. The problem is windows will not boot. Just continuously wants to reinstall windows. Since the hard drives are connected through a raid card on a pci I slot what should be my boot devices and in what order? I also scoured the internet and found the drivers for his raid card (he gave me no drivers and his computer is at least 5 years old) and both installed those when it prompts for them (before installing windows) and have also gone without installing them. If I use the drivers it will attempt to start windows but will just sit at the setup screen. Without the drivers it installs fine but I cannot boot windows. I don't have the exact specs for his computer but if necessary I will attempt to pull them up. I hope this is the correct place to ask, I just really need some ideas on where to go from here. Thanks.
Can you be a bit more specific about this please. Which setup screen? The ugly non GUI screen you get in the early stages of installation or later in the GUI section?
