Bios Reset Now Windows Wont Load

I have an alienware aurora R3 the computer has always worked fine and iv'e had no problems until last night. i tried the standard overclock setting just out of interest on my bio to see what difference it made and then decided to change it back after. i decided at the time to reset Bios to default was the easiest way and now my windows wont even start.

It comes up first wanting to setup a RAID ROM due to having two hard drives I'm assuming? and then the windows logo comes up but before it forms it freezes and then doesn't work. following the instructions to repair it says the problem cannot be fixed automatically?

Feeling really annoyed about this as i don't understand how resetting the bios to what i thought they where? has caused such a problem. also the Bios is loading as A05? no idea if this makes any difference. Any help would be very appreciated thanks

Was your hard drives set to RAID before you defaulted the BIOS?

When you default the BIOS it turns off the RAID. If you have your drives setup as RAID then it needs to be turned back on in the BIOS.

It was on RAID already with my old set up. Turns out the problem was with the windows files on the hard drive I reformatted and re installed and all works fine. Thanks for the help though
