PC won't restart after installing RAID..

Liggs · 16 Mar 2007 at 09:33

Bit confused, I've set up 2 500gb hard drives in RAID 0, and it all works great. The only thing is the PC can't seem to restart without me physically pressing the restart button. It wouldn't do it in the Windows installation and it won't do it now that Windows is installed.

Any ideas here? Everything works fine otherwise.

So you hit Start, pick Shutdown, then Restart and it goes through the motions but hangs before it reboots?

Re:

Yes, same goes for shutting down as well. No other problems besides this. It literally gets to "Windows is shutting down" and then just ceases all activity.

Try doing: Start>Run> shutdown.exe to see if the executable for shutting the machine down stillworks.

Alright, well I'm at work right now so I can't try it until later. However when it was trying to restart the machine after it had copied the files over to setup Windows it hung, if that makes any difference.
