Running Asus P4B533-e with 512Meg and W2k and 40 gig drive on IDE #1 (C Drive). System runs perfectly.

Enabled RAID option on MB, installed 2 identical drives, created RAID 0 array, loaded RAID driver into W2K. System runs fine, sees new RAID array as one basic disk.

If I load OS onto Raid Array, it boots and runs fine. However I don't want to reload all software. I want to clone from my C drive to the RAID array. I used Norton Ghost to make the clone and Ghost said it was successful.

However, I cannot get the cloned RAID array to boot. I can boot to C drive and look at RAID drive and it is apparent that clone was successful, but I cannot boot from the RAID array. I think it has something to do with how the RAID driver is being loaded (or not loaded) from the cloned RAID array.

Any ideas would be appreciated
