Just changed my gfx card and no i get this message after bios

The bios also initially said boot from last good configuration or reset to default.

Am i screwed? If so what is likely to have happened? I cant get into bios as my keyboard wont (and never has) worked in bios
 
How are you running RAID if you cant get into BIOS?

This is prob whats happened, in resetting to defaults its changed your SATA configuration form RAID to IDE, it needs changin back for it to be able to access the drives properly again
 
I used to be able to use some elses keyboard,

Ive set it back to raid, its now trying to boot from cd drive even though it should be booting from raid drives
 
I cannot seem to get it to boot to windows at all, not even with the recovery disc
It just stuck on 'attempting repairs'
 
I guess this means i need a re install?

The two drives at the top should be the raid 0 drives with the os on

Can some let me know if i can recover the partition, otherwise i will click ok and reformat
 
I did that and its a no go.

The raid utility sees the 2 raid member drives but the qindows install sees the situation i pictured above. If i set boot device as the raid drives it just wants me to insert bootable media
 
Ok with no more replies and unable to track anything down on the net, defeat it is.

Either ssd or reinstall :-(
 
The two top drives are empty? (states no bytes being used) I would just bite the bullit and reinstall :( a pain but sometimes happens.
 
Yeah boot priority is set as raid drives , i agree, think i need to bite the bullet

Really thinking about the ssd route now i have to do a reinstall.

If i do get a pair of ssds will acronis universal backup load an image of my old drive even though it was mechanical HD?
