We have a BL20p Blade server with 2 140GB drives set hardware lvl Raid 1 on a Smart Array 5i. The system has a 2 fiber channel. When I added the PCI fiber channel ROM 1.33 divers and rebooted the system missing NTLDR is what I got. I tried to run ms recovery consoule with no luck. I booted from ms-dos and ran NTFSDOS Pro and accessed the drives. The boot.ini seems fine as well as the ntldr. I checked the ROM based set up utility and the smart array is listed as the first boot device after CD-rom and floppy. Any ideas?
