Hi there, I got two 160gb hard drives to set up in a raid array in november, all was fine until last week when I had to revert back to my old graphics card due to my new one not working 
I did all the right stuff uninstalled all the drivers, went into vga mode, put my old 9800 back in and fired up windows.
Now windows started up first time but it said there was a problem and had to use an old setting so when the desktop came up it looked a bit like '98. Anyway I carried on the onscreen prompts and restarted, then it booted back up but with no mouse(psp) or usb working only the keyboard, this happened with about 5 re-starts, then finally windows would nott even boot saying that there was an error and I would need to repair it from the cd.
So I got my raid array drivers ready on floppy and my windows cd and went for a re install. It got to the point when you can format the drive and it said it was unable to format due to an error. I even went into my raid set up, deleted the old array, created a new one and did a low level format on both disks. And still no successful instal of windows, even if I manage to get to the actual windows intallation screen it gets to a point where it says that it cant copy files to their destination.
So are my drives screwed, if they are is it something I've done or should I be able to get a replacement?
