Bought a 9200 with 2 x 500gb disks in a RAID 0 config.  One disk errored and Dell want to replace it under warranty.  They told me to backup the data and check my windows cd was bootable.  No problem so far

 

So I removed the disk and booted from the vista (ultimate) CD.  But it very quickly tells me there are no drivers for a hard disk and to load the resource cd.  But it cannot find any drivers on that

 

So I downloaded the driver files for the Intel Matrix etc and extracted them on another PC then copied the files to a CD.  And the vista machine still can't find any disk drivers.

 

I removed the remaining disk from the array, reset the bios to non raid and still nothing

 

Suggestions welcome

 

My suggestion to Dell/Microsoft is that they return to the good old days of only needing one CD to rebuild your OS
