    QuadGT boot from CD problem

    Well basically I can't, don't know if I'm going nuts. I changed my gfx card and when I was booting my comp up for the first time I accidentally turned it off during booting. Now I'm getting 'unmountable boot drive'. I'm pretty sure i've f***** the boot.ini as my HDs were fine just before I done it. So I stuck in my windows CD to do a repair but I can't get it to boot from the disk, I'm running 2 disks in RAID and a SATA DVD drive, I'm guessing this causes some kind of problem?

    And yes I have changed the boot order in the BIOS.

    Any ideas how I can boot from the CD to run the recovery console?

    I got it, I needed to select my actual dvd drive (I never noticed it in the choices) rather than just the sata dvd to boot from, I feel quite silly!

    you would need to get the "fixed by Richh" version as the release 14 has broken AHCI/RAID or 13.
    when you changed the boot order did you change it to the actually named optical drive rather than just CD/DVD?
